Synopsis

Gangjeong Village faces significant ecological disruption following the construction of a naval base. The underwater ecosystem suffers as non-human life forms struggle to adapt to the changes. Local divers take on the role of mediators, immersing themselves in the ocean to connect with the creatures beneath the surface. Their efforts highlight the delicate balance between human activity and marine life in this region. "Coral Love," a 33-minute documentary from 2023, captures these interactions and the impact on the underwater environment.
