Neon Reef

Overview

Neon Reef dives into the interconnection between vibrant queer community and homegrown ocean activism. Amid the swaying palms and electric neon nightlife of Miami’s South Beach are unlikely underwater heroes: married couple Patrick Breshike and David Grieser. They strap on scuba gear, schmooze politicians, and marshal a diverse coalition of queer coral scientists, women divers, and a Guinness World Record-breaking mermaid in an urgent battle to save a coral reef from poachers, climate change, and ignorance. This is a sexy, sun-drenched, and sometimes surreal road map to pivoting community toward advocacy in America’s riviera: Miami Beach.
