Naomi Klein at the Great Barrier Reef: what have we left for our children? ► http://bit.ly/KleinReef

In Under the Surface, a special Guardian film, the award-winning writer and environmental campaigner Naomi Klein travels to the Great Barrier Reef with her son, Toma, to see the impact of coral bleaching caused by climate change. In a personal but also universal story, Klein tells how she wants him to bear witness. ‘Just in case, amid the coral that is still alive, he can find something beautiful to connect with, something he can carry with him as he navigates life on a warmer, harsher planet than the one I grew up on.

Gun Nation ► http://bit.ly/GunNation

A revealing and unsettling journey to the heart of America’s deadly love affair with the gun

In the 18 years since Zed Nelson’s seminal photography book Gun Nation was published, 500,000 Americans have been killed by firearms in the US. Half a million people dead and many more injured, Nelson returns to the people he met, re-photographs them, and asks why America is a nation still with an insatiable appetite for firearms.

Gun Nation explores the paradox of why America's most potent symbol of freedom is also one of its greatest killers.
