The documentary tells the overarching story of Joann Fife and Sally O’Connor’s journey of discovery, borne out of a deep interest in the Limestone Coast shoreline and a desire to protect its unique and vital ecology. In bringing together cultural and scientific experts to discuss life cycles and biodiversity of the seaweed, as well as to reflect on sense of place, personal stories, and local histories pertaining Port MacDonnell/ Ngaranga, the artists have succeeded in building a multidimensional project that is both creative and educational in its scope. The documentary provides an entry point to let us ponder the vast complexity embedded in these most ancient life forms.
