Of very little value, some photography is bad fakes, and couple who supported return of coral reef and bigger fish was barely mentioned. The couple who paid to re-create a former poachers' boat as a traveling school AND stop local fisherman from over fishing AND created a resort environment so local population didn't have to totally rely on fishing (they'd been part of the reason why the big fish had left the area) AND stopped bombing for fish.
Very poorly written, sea life shown making sounds we wouldn't hear if we were there, some underwater scenes were breath-taking (in so many ways) but they were only small moments. Most of film seemed forced.
There could have been value in this film.
Sadly, in March 2017 a cruise ship (without even contacting the island) crashed into and destroyed over $18,000,000 of irreplaceable coral reef.

Now tourists have whole sections with no reef, and the native fisherman probably have even less fishing options.
Is this island better off because tourism came?
