ABOUT THE FILM
In the small coastal haven of Belize lies the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that sustains over half the country’s population. Despite its protected status, the reef faces mounting threats from overfishing, oil exploration, invasive species, coastal development, and climate change. Wealth Untold offers a revealing look at the conservation efforts led by Belizean women, including scientists, artists, and policymakers, whose shared vision empowers local communities to thrive in harmony with the marine environment. wealthuntoldfilm.com
