Reflection

The oceans and nature have been protecting and preserving us humans since the day we came to this world. With all the protection and help it has given in our lives, we choose to damage it day by day. We are destroying the very thing that has given life to us: The Ocean. The ocean holds animals that have been around even before we were. It preserves these animals, these generations of species. But we choose to carelessly kill them. More and more animals, especially marine animals, are going extinct day by day. And it all starts from us. Humans. We humans choose to carelessly dump unwanted waste into the home of marine animals, damaging corals, "coral bleaching," as it is called. With enough damage, we choose to make massive waste producing factories from which we think we "gain resources." But we actually lose more. From all this danger, what do we expect is going to happen to our world, our ocean, or our marine animals? The ocean gives us life. My home country, Bangladesh's most beautiful beach area, Saint Martin's Island is disappearing day by day. So here is a film that will hopefully wake up the ignorant, or at least encourage the understanding, to let this not be the ending of our story. To allow a happier ending to this story. To let their children, and the generation after, to see and experience what a beautiful ocean with life is.
