A documentary set to screen in the city explores the underwater world of coral reefs
The closest most of us have come to living underwater is watching Disney's The Little Mermaid, where the protagonist, Ariel, yearns to live a life on land. In the song Under the Sea, she is told, "The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake." And going by that, discovering life underwater is a dream for many of us humans. But thanks to filmmaker Priya Thuvassery — who made Coral Woman, a documentary that captures her journey with Uma Mani, a certified scuba diver who learned the sport at 49 — we can now come one step closer to that dream.
