The Camden Public Library’s Friday Film Club plans to watch and discuss the 2014 documentary “Angel Azul” as part of the library’s celebration of Maritime Month in April.

The film takes a look at one artist’s attempt to draw attention to the perilous situation coral reefs face worldwide, according to a news release from the library.

To request details about how to watch the film and to receive the Zoom link to join the discussion at 4 p.m. Friday, April 15, email jpierce@librarycamden.org. The film should be viewed prior to the discussion.

“Angel Azul” explores the artistic journey of Jason deCaires Taylor, an innovative artist who combines creativity with an important environmental solution: the creation of artificial coral reefs from statues he’s cast from live models. When algae overtake the reef, local experts and scientists are called in to explore the problem and solutions necessary to save the reef.

Peter Coyote provides narration that leaves viewers pondering their connection to this ecosystem.

Maritime Month is supported by Camden Riverhouse Hotel & Inn.
