In November 2024, scientists reveal an alarming reality: 44% of the world's reef-building corals face a high risk of extinction. The short film follows more than thirty experts gathered in Bangkok as they confront the devastating effects of climate change: increasingly frequent and severe mass bleaching events, ecosystem collapse, declining fisheries, loss of coastal protection, and vulnerable human communities.
At the heart of the story is a scientific community racing against time to create the world's first Red List of coral reef ecosystems, a crucial tool for guiding global action and deciding whether corals will be the first major victim of climate change. An urgent, scientific, and deeply human story.
