Stretching for miles off the Florida Keys is mainland North America's only barrier coral reef, beloved by divers throughout the world. But our primary reef is dying, and like the proverbial canary in a coal mine, its decline is a warning that something is very wrong in our oceans. CANARY OF THE OCEAN portrays the glories of this fragile undersea kingdom, investigates the serious threats to its health, and profiles some of the concerned people working to preserve it for future generations. This engaging film, through a rich and heartfelt narration by Andie MacDowell, makes clear the often mysterious ties that binds humans on land to the creatures of the sea. With its beauty, and sometimes its sadness, this film asks each viewer to take responsibility for the care of the reef.
