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.
