Throughout the production of Coral Connections, we had the opportunity to work with a number of remarkable individuals striving to protect the coral reefs in the Mexican Caribbean. Both on screen and behind-the-scenes they helped us to see the many cultural, linguistic, ethnic and human connections that tie all of our lives to the reefs.
From cave diver Sam Meacham, journalist Adriana Varillas, native Mayan Homobona Borges and scientist Roberto Iglesias-Prieto each offers a unique perspective regarding the challenges and opportunities we all face.
