Chasing Coral Screening and Panelist Discussion

The Canada and United States (CANUSA) Student Chapter of the Wildlife Disease Association will be hosting a screening event of the Netflix documentary Chasing Coral with an expert panelist discussion following the event featuring an in-person appearance by Dr. Jim Porter the Chief Scientific Advisor and Principal Cast Member of the film.

Chasing Coral taps into the collective will and wisdom of an ad man, a self-proclaimed coral nerd, top-notch camera designers, and renowned marine biologists as they invent the first time-lapse camera to record bleaching events as they happen. Unfortunately, the effort is anything but simple, and the team doggedly battles technical malfunctions and the force of nature in pursuit of their golden fleece: documenting the indisputable and tragic transformation below the waves. With its breathtaking photography, nail-biting suspense, and startling emotion, Chasing Coral is a dramatic revelation that won’t have audiences sitting idle for long.
