17 COMMERCIAL maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 25 JULY 2018 Chasing Coral - film screening and discussion THE story of our changing climate is hidden beneath the waves and a team of divers, scientists and filmmakers have finally captured it on film. Chas- ing Coral is a documentary that takes us on a thrilling ocean adventure and uncovers why coral reefs are vanishing around the world at an unprecedented rate. It took more than three years to film and is the outcome of 500+ hours of underwater footage, coral bleach- ing submissions from volunteers in 30 countries, as well as support from more than 500 people in various locations around the world. So, come along to Salina Nature Reserve and watch Chasing Coral to witness the story that the New York Times calls an "emotional race against time!" Alongside the film, there will be a discussion held by someone from our education depart- ment. The event is open to all and entrance is free, but donations are welcome.
