Don’t miss BLUE, a powerful film about our oceans, showing on January 23, 2019, at BUEI. “It comes at a time when we are making critical decisions that will decide the legacy we leave for generations to come. We want BLUE to inspire lifelong guardians for the protection of all our oceans.

“BLUE is a cinematic song for our oceans; beautiful, intimate and grand. Fearlessly truth-telling, yet passionately hopeful. See this film and you will want to rise up with the waves.”— GREENPEACE AUSTRALIA
