| Achingly Beautiful CORAL REEF ADVENTURE Returns! | 
A spectacular once-in-a-lifetime journey across a wide range of coral reefs in the South Pacific with Del Mar's veteran underwater filmmakers/ocean explorers Howard and Michele Hall. From Australia's Great Barrier Reef to a coral reef-sustained village in Fiji; dazzling underwater worlds filled with unusual and exotic inhabitants, and vast stretches of bleached coral decline. As you fall in love with the reefs, your heart will ache at the tragic, irretrievable loss of these fragile worlds. Directed by Greg MacGillivray, music by Crosby Stills & Nash, narrated by Liam Neeson. The Giant Screen Theater Association named it the best film achievement of 2003. More>>
