Grandpa's Big Adventure

A grandfather launches the adventure of a lifetime with the future for our children and the planet we’re leaving them hanging on the edge of disaster.

A Texas grandfather's love for the oceans and his desire to save them for his grandchildren turned into an epic public awareness campaign and documentary film. The movie tells the story of Paul Ellis, who at age 61 attempted to swim the 40 miles across the Yucatan Channel and by doing so acquire international attention to the issue of dying coral reefs. Not only does the documentary show that amazing accomplishments can be achieved at any age, it also highlights the many threats to the world's coral reefs and urges everyone to take action to protect them for the sake of the world we are handing to our next generations.
