DOUBLE FEATURE WITH “A Day Like A Year”

The Saudi Arabian Red Sea has historically been a difficult place to reach, due to the very strict requirements imposed upon visitors by the government of that Kingdom.

Hence, little is known about that region of the Red Sea, and until now, even less recorded by underwater cameras.

'Ali Kabuk Was Here', was filmed in and around the stunning reefs north and west of the coastal city of Jeddah over a period of three years, and represents a visual distillation of nearly five hundred individual dives.

RSP's underwater lens captures not only the incredibly diverse, rarely seen natural beauty of KSA's Red Sea, but its increasingly perilous fragility as well.

With each new marine study, it is becoming all too clear that the natural treasures bequeathed to us by the coral seas of the planet are in grave peril of extinction.

Without immediate and massive intervention, this is likely to happen in just one or two generations.

This film has been several years in the making, and even during that relatively short time, I have observed first-hand the accelerating deterioration of the Red Sea's coral reefs.

This short movie and the images contained herein, it is hoped, will serve as an urgent message, a call to action, to the custodians of the Red Sea.

WHY YOU SHOULD SEE THIS FILM

This film is a must sea for divers, water conservationists, lovers of the oceans, fishermen, and filmmakers alike.
