Abstract

"Deep Blue" is a drama film that explores the dangers of land development on a small island surrounded by dying coral reefs. The film follows the story of a star-crossed love affair between an architect overseeing the development of a luxury hotel and a marine biologist who supports local environmentalists. The film highlights the negative impacts of deforestation, the construction of a golf course, and the vulnerability of the island to environmental disasters. It also emphasizes the importance of preserving the environment and the resistance against the hotel development led by the Rastafarian community. The film's low budget production showcases the challenges faced by filmmakers in disadvantaged societies. Overall, "Deep Blue" serves as a valuable contribution to the environmentalists' cause and raises awareness about similar issues faced by island nations. [Extracted from the article]
