Cousteau and his team of filmmakers and scientists dove June 1 to study the effects of climate change and pollution on a nearby coral reef. Cousteau documented the 31-day underwater living experiment in a film, which was shown at the Blue Ocean Film Festival, held Nov. 3-9, 2014 in St. Petersburg, Fla. The festival is one of the biggest environmental documentary events in the world - and also the rise of the emerging genre of cli-fi movies, short for "climate fiction."
