Curated with Planet in Focus International Environmental Film Festival Screening features a pre-recorded filmmaker Q&amp;A with Andrew Nisker (Director) and Dr. Tom Goreau (Film Subject), moderated by Andrés Jiménez Monge&nbsp;(Board Member, Planet in Focus) About the Festival: Now in our 22nd year, Planet in Focus is Canada's largest environmental media arts organization with year-round programming and an annual festival. We use film as a catalyst for change, building public awareness and engagement on a broad range of environmental issues that includes the intersections of the natural, cultural, social and political environments.

Combines a hundred-years of underwater photography with the timely quest of Dr. Tom Goreau, a marine biologist who inherited the family legacy of protecting the world’s coral reefs at a time when they have never faced greater threats. Told through intimate verite, never seen before archival film and photographs, and stunning underwater photography, this character driven film brings viewers from a dusty attic in Cambridge to the shores of Jamaica, Australia, Bikini Atoll and Bali on a “Mad” Scientist’s journey to protect the coral that his father died documenting.
