What is true story of the reef?

The True Story of the Reef is a 2012 Australian film about a group of friends who go on a sailing trip to Indonesia. After a night of partying on the boat, they wake up to find that their vessel has collided with a coral reef and is starting to sink. With no hope of rescue and limited supplies, the group must work together to survive and find a way to make it back to shore.

The film is based on a true story that happened in 1983, when a group of friends from Brisbane, Australia, set out on a sailing trip to Indonesia. Their boat, the North Star, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef and started to sink. The group was stranded on the reef for four days before they were finally rescued by a passing freighter.

The True Story of the Reef was directed by Andrew Traucki (who also directed the horror film The Reef) and stars Damian Walshe-Howling, Gyton Grantley, Adrienne Pickering, and Zoe Naylor. The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its tense and suspenseful atmosphere, while others criticized its melodramatic and clichéd storytelling.
