DESCENT - Into The Blue is a powerful documentary narrated by Peter Coyote, showcasing the best of the human spirit - the fight to save our ocean's ecosystem and critically endangered coral reefs. The film's inspiration was the original symphony Terra Nostra, musically portraying the story of climate change. The documentary features stunning 6K underwater cinematography, researchers and volunteers who tirelessly strive to reverse the damage and preserve our vital coral reefs. DESCENT is cinematic, uniquely featuring poetry written and recited by young students, inspired by our oceans. The opening Starfish parable sets the theme - that we all can make a small difference. Our process was unique, the film structured like a symphony in five movements-Majesty, Exploration, Problem, Battle, and Hope. DESCENT-Into The Blue takes viewers on a theatrical journey into the underwater world. Through the eyes of veteran underwater cinematographers with decades of experience we witness the profound transformations and human impact on our reefs and seas. Each note of the original score mirrors the ocean's colors, textures and currents. At its heart, DESCENT-Into The Blue is a story about the resilience of those striving to rebuild coral reefs after the catastrophic bleaching events which now effect over 75% of the world's reefs. It is also a generational story of stewardship passed from seasoned advocates to a new generation of young ocean protectors, committed to preserving our ecosystem despite inevitable failures and personal sacrifice.
