But scientists believe that a temperature rise of just 1.5 degrees could lead to irreversible damage to ecosystems and terrestrial and marine areas SCIENCE MEETS MUSIC. The style of 1.5 Stay Alive is part music video and part factual. In it, popular Caribbean musicians express their experiences with rising seas by composing and performing songs about climate change, and their visions of how to confront it. o Intertwined throughout the film are insights by scientists and local climate experts. The film visits Belize, Costa Rica, Trinidad + Tobago, Haiti, Miami and Louisiana. These regions are examples of the areas that will be, and are, affected by rising seas. o The film '1.5 - Stay Alive' by Spanish film-maker Lucian Segura takes a closer look at this issue using the example of the Caribbean region. He describes the far-reaching consequences such warming will have for biodiversity, fish stocks, coastal protection and the survival of Caribbean coral reefs. The documentary also shows how climate change will impact the people who live on the islands and along the Caribbean coastlines and whose living space and homeland is increasingly being lost. 1.5 – STAY ALIVE is equally adapted to be screened at climate rallies, in cinemas or in educational settings in almost any part of the world.  EXPERTS Ottis Joslyn - St Vincent Caribbean Community Climate Change Center Harold Wanless - USA Chairman, Department of Geological Science, University of Miami Leandra Cho-Ricketts - Belize Marine Science Director, University of Belize Carlos-Fuller - Belize International Liason Officer, Carribean Community Climate Change Center Lisel Alamilla - Belize Minister of Forestry, Fisheries & Sustainable Development Ruenna Haynes - Trinidad and Tobago UN Representative for Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) Captain Dan Kipnis - USA Ocean Environmental Activist, Miami Beach, Florida MUSICIANS Jess Flores – Belize The Grandmaster – Belize Aurelio Martinez – Honduras Garifuna Collective – Belize Queen Calypso Rose – Tobago The Buccooneers Steel Orchestra – Tobago Asakivled – Haiti Kawe Calypso – Costa Rica Percy “Scootie” Gabriel – USA Produced and Directed by Lucian Segura 55 mins | 2015 | English Language | Subtitles in English, Spanish,  German This film was produced with the support of Blue Solutions, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklung (DIE), AirClim, the Caribbean Community Climate Change Center, Stonetree Records and The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB).
