Blue Carbon Nature's Hidden Power Documentary Movie

Blue Carbon Nature's Hidden Power Documentary Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In the fight against climate change, we may have overlooked one of nature’s simple solutions: blue carbon ecosystems.

Told through the eyes of Grammy-nominated DJ and marine biologist, Jayda Guy – known by her DJ name Jayda G – Blue Carbon is an environmental feature documentary that spins music, science and an appreciation for world culture into a vibrant call to action to protect the planet. Blue carbon refers to coastal habitats – like mangroves, salt marshes and sea grass – that soak up copious amounts of planet-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while protecting coastal communities from rising seas and powerful storms. The film is a clear-eyed look at what’s at stake and offers tangible solutions – and hope – to boost nature’s ability to heal itself.

In the film, Jayda’s quest to uncover blue carbon’s potential takes her on a global adventure across six countries and five continents. Blue carbon ecosystems, as Jayda learns, have the incredible ability to protect coastal cities from storms and rising sea levels, foster biodiversity, strengthen food security, and turn down the temperature on the Earth’s thermostat. As she travels from Senegal to Colombia to Vietnam and beyond, she discovers that human development has gobbled up billions of hectares of blue carbon habitat, putting this low cost, climate-mitigating tool at risk. Along the way, she meets local leaders from communities hit hardest by climate change who are leading the charge to restore blue carbon ecosystems and protect their livelihoods.

With her infectious curiosity, a passion for marine life and legions of music fans worldwide, Jayda is charting her own course to build a healthier planet and inspiring the next generation of conservationists.

QUOTES:
“The air we breathe and the water we drink are the two most important things for our survival. Yet we consistently continue to abuse them with frivolous products. I’m joining the Blue Carbon team of creators to help bring the needed awareness to these issues. Hopefully the film will inspire us to do better.”
~ RZA, The Wu-Tang Clan

“Blue Carbon is so important but people know so little about it - I want it to be as well known as the Amazon rainforest. It has such potential to help us combat climate change, as long as we listen to and learn from the stories of people working to protect Blue Carbon. It’s made me hopeful about our future and has helped me feel more connected with mother nature. I hope that when people watch this film they feel the same way.”
~ Jayda Guy
