Blue (2017)

Director: Karina Holden

Genre: Environmental Documentary

BLUE takes you on a powerful journey into the ocean’s depths, capturing this pivotal moment as the marine world stands on the brink of crisis

The sea has always been a mirror. Sometimes clear, sometimes stormy, but always honest. Blue lets that mirror speak. It opens not with dramatic statements, it starts with the quiet passion of those who have learnt too many things: marine biologists, conservationists, people who dive and no longer see the ocean only as water and waves but as damaged friends.

The camera follows them, not with fanfare, but with respect, as they witness coral turning ghostly white, turtles tangled in fishing lines, and plastic bags swaying like jellyfish beneath the surface. Each scene lingers, not to shock, but to let the viewer feel the slow unravelling of something vast and ancient.

Blue doesn’t shout. It watches. It lets the ocean speak in colors and silence. And in that stillness, you realize how close the crisis is—not out on some distant shore, but in our habits, in our homes, in our dinner plates.

There’s no easy hope in this movie. No last-minute rescue. Instead, Blue gives you something harder and more honest: the knowledge that change will not come from recycling slogans alone, but from policies, pressure, and refusing to look away. The ocean is not a background. It’s a life-long system. And if it collapses, so do we.

Blue is a gentle reminder to anyone who believes the sea is too large to break. The one that you remember long after the film has ended .......
