Coral reefs and rare, spectacular creatures are disappearing, before we even understand them. The survival of this delicate realm is intricately bound with a new approach and fresh perception.
Comprising three dramatically original adventure stories, 'The Reef' is a multiple-award-winning underwater documentary film series. Over four years in the making, it features the very best of underwater cinematography
and a truly innovative portrayal of marine life. 'The Reef' is produced in collaboration with globally prominent marine scientists and coral reef ecologists, backed up by extensive research and shot entirely in the wild. Living 'on location' alongside the marine animals, the filmmakers combine innovative filming techniques and angles with a groundbreaking knowledge of the marine life. Capturing rare and intimate footage, they reveal new
and undocumented behavior. With a passion to celebrate, protect and raise the world's awareness about the mesmerizing creatures, they present the fish in an entirely new light, exposing their unique personalities, habits,
abilities and true essence to the world. From the tiny animal that builds the coral reef to the circle of life of the creatures that inhabit it. From exhilarating
encounters and extraordinary relationships to fish communication and intelligence. 'The Reef' introduces completely unique interaction between man and marine life. Stunning, highest quality images open our eyes to an
enchanting, endangered world. The award-winning filmmakers concentrate on creatures ignored, unnoticed or simply too difficult to film.
Conversing in 'real-time' whilst filming, they enable the viewer to truly experience the underwater realm, relate to the mystical animals and see them as they really are.
Documenting spectacular adventure and breathtaking nature exploration, this internationally acclaimed series is the coral reef, as never seen before. Powerful personification of the marine life combines with dramatic
storytelling. Provocatively extending all boundaries of 'traditional underwater filmmaking', this is an eye-opener, absolutely guaranteed to reach the hearts of all.
