The Screen Guide

The Great Barrier Reef is dying. Global warming and outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish have put extraordinary pressure on the coral. Now scientists have identified another threat - agricultural run-off. Sugarcane farmers are reeling at the prospect that their land management practices may be part of the problem. Some locals are trying to bring all the parties together to develop a workable solution, but leading the way can be hard work. MUDDY WATERS is the story of a small community facing the challenges of responsibility and change. It asks what’s killing the reef and can anything be done to save one of the world’s greatest natural treasures?
