About the Film
UNBELIZEABLUE is an upcoming documentary that follows a multigenerational group of inspiring women leaders in Belize striving to protect the world's second largest barrier reef system. The country is unique in that virtually all of the organizations involved in protecting its marine environment and associated livelihoods are led by women.
Belizeans have taken bold measures to protect their marine resources, but many challenges remain as the country balances conservation with the need to provide for its growing population. Will Belize show the world how to coexist and thrive with the natural environment?
About this Event
The UNBELIZEABLUE filmmakers have traveled to Belize on three occasions and spent 40 days filming across the country this year. To give you an idea of where we're going with the story, we've organized this sneak peek of our work-in-progress.
Click on WATCH NOW at the top of this page to see our 10-minute preview. We're eager to hear your thoughts on the range of topics covered in the preview, and we hope to count with your support to be able to complete this film (read How you can help section further below).
