It explores how constructive relationships between individuals, the community, and institutions paved the path for a youth-led social action initiative to revitalize and protect a coral reef ecosystem off the shores of Tanna, Vanuatu.
This film is part of the BIC’s contribution to the discourse on climate change and was screened at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, otherwise known as COP27.
