[SYNOPSIS]
A home to many sea creatures, Jeju’s soft coral colony is in danger. The ‘Coral Garden’ off the coast of Gangjeong Village in Seogwipo City is the world’s largest soft coral colony, and the coral reef ecosystem is a natural treasure that provides a home to half of the ocean’s species. However, changes to the water currents due to the construction of the naval base which started in 2012 and global warming have been causing the devastation of the corals. Determined to stop these continuing changes, divers gather in Gangjeong Village, take up cameras and head into the water.
[DIRECTOR'S NOTE]
Since the construction of the naval base in Gangjeong Village, the ocean ecosystem has been seriously damaged. The ones who have to cope with these changes are non-human life forms who live in places which we can’t see. Gangjeong divers share with the world their records of what’s happening to these creatures, but it is beyond their ability to stop the course of events. Twenty-first century humanity is witnessing an existential crisis due to climate change, yet we haven’t been able to let go of our lust to build and construct. The disappearing coral garden reminds us again where we must now focus our attention.

[SYNOPSIS]
해양 생물들의 터전, 제주 연산호 군락지가 위험에 처했다. 서귀포시 강정마을 앞바다의 ‘산호 정원'은 세계 최대의 연산호 군락지로, 해양 생물종의 절반이 서식지로 삼고 있는 해양 생태계의 보고다. 그러나 2012년에 시작된 해군 기지 준설로 인한 조류의 변화와 기후 변화로 인해 연산호가 파괴되고 있다. 지속되는 변화를 막고자 강정마을에 모인 다이버들은 카메라를 들고 물 속으로 향한다.
[DIRECTOR'S NOTE]
제주 강정마을에 해군기지가 건설된 이후 해양 생태계는 심각하게 훼손되었다. 이같은 변화를 감당하고 있는 것은 눈에 보이지 않는 곳에 있는 비인간 생물이다. 강정의 다이버들은 그들의 변화를 기록하고 세상에 알리지만, 생태계의 거대한 흐름을 막기엔 역부족이다. 21세기 인류는 기후 변화로 인한 생존의 위기를 목도하고 있다. 그러나 여전히 우리는 새로운 것을 짓고 세우려는 욕망을 버리지 못했다.
사라지는 산호 정원은 지금 우리가 살펴보아야 할 곳은 어디인지 다시금 상기시킨다.
