Join Residents for Resilience (R4R) for a special evening exploring the beauty, the challenges, and the hopeful future of Florida's Coral Reef.
Descent: Into the Blue is a powerful documentary narrated by Peter Coyote that showcases the best of the human spirit through the fight to save our ocean's ecosystems and critically endangered coral reefs. At its heart, it is a story of resilience, following those working to rebuild coral reefs after catastrophic bleaching events that now affect more than 75% of the world's reefs, and of stewardship passed from seasoned advocates to a new generation of young ocean protectors.
The evening will feature a screening of the film, a special introduction by Emmy Award-winning director and executive producer Rory Fielding, and a post-film discussion with experts working in coral science, research, restoration, environmental protection and underwater filmmaking. Audience members are invited to share their thoughts, questions and concerns.
