Run Time:
95 minutes
Only 3.5% of Earth’s oceans are protected, compared to 15% of Earth’s land. While there is plenty of work to be done, there is much to be celebrated. A self-proclaimed “collection of sea tales,” THE MAP TO PARADISE follows dedicated marine biologists and conservationists on their quest to protect our world’s oceans. A refreshing documentary that highlights more successful progress than dire circumstances, the film travels to Apo Island in the Philippines, the Antarctic Peninsula, a small fishing village in Greece, the California coast, and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to trace the history and evolution of the global movement to protect the sea. Scientists and activists all over the world aim to create more marine sanctuaries, teach future generations about the importance of conservation, and learn from each other’s lessons, legends, and methods to continue expanding protected areas of our oceans. Uplifting and inspiring, THE MAP TO PARADISE educates audiences on the challenges our waters and marine life face today, and the devoted, unified front of individuals fighting for them. —A.B.
