Description

Disneynature continues to inspire passion for conservation with its groundbreaking series of wildlife films. The latest, narrated by Natalie Portman, follows Echo, a young bottlenose dolphin, as he navigates the coral reef his family calls home, learning all the skills he needs to survive while interacting with a full coterie of neighbors. All of this is brought to vivid life with stunning underwater cinematography and skilled direction from veteran nature filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey. Content Advisory: Circle of life depicted.

Recommended for ages 6 and up.
This is a free community screening.

“Most memorable are the sequences where we follow sea life up close in ways rarely seen before, surveying the activity on a section of coral reef as if it were a bustling city street viewed from ground level. The abundance of color and different species is truly daunting, and the film allows us to grasp the intelligence of mollusks and other invertebrates struggling to survive in a crowded terrain.” –Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
