Mary Kay-produced documentary premieres October at LA Femme International Film Festival

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 -- Mary Kay-produced Guardians of the Gulf, an eye-opening documentary exploring the tumultuous relationship between the Gulf of Mexico and conservationists, has been selected to premiere at the all-digital LA Femme International Film Festival.

To be held for four days, beginning Oct 15, it is a premiere film festival celebrating, supporting and advancing content creation by women producers, writers and directors globally.

Mary Kay Inc serving as executive producer, with Media One in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, visited the coasts of Texas, Alabama and Mexico to shed light on the often-untold stories of Gulf preservation.

Filmed, directed and produced by an all-female crew, Guardians of the Gulf is slated for its global digital premiere on Oct 16, with a Q&A including film makers and stars to immediately follow.

The Gulf of Mexico has long been impacted by catastrophic natural disasters. However, it continues to support one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth with over 15,000 species.

According to a statement, in the documentary, the Gulf of Mexico is given a voice by her caretakers to tell a story of generosity and strength.

These conservationists, fisherpeople, tour operators, chefs and student leaders strive to improve sustainability in their work and community. Through action, they see change. Through change, they see hope.

“The documentary showcases the people fighting to protect the Gulf and the ability to make change happen. Our hope is Guardians of the Gulf inspires curious minds to learn how they can act locally to impact global sustainability,” said Mary Kay Inc Chief Legal, Communications and Social Impact Officer, Julia Simon.
