Inspired by the effects that global warming and chemical run off on the world's coral reefs, Coral Ghosts follows eccentric and driven 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 before seen 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, Bikini Atoll, Indonesia, Australia, and Nunavut on a "mad" scientist's journey to protect the coral that his father died documenting.
