Sun Come Up

An Academy Award nominated film about an island community being displaced by climate change.
Sun Come Up
Follows the relocation of the Carteret Islanders, a community living on a remote island chain 50 miles off Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific, now among the world's first environmental refugees. As rising seas contaminate their fresh water and gardening land, the islanders - who live on a diet of fresh fish, bananas, and vegetables without cars, electricity, or running water, and have one of the lightest carbon footprints on the planet - face the painful decision to leave their ancestral land. Follows relocation leader Ursula Rakova and a group of young islanders led by Nick Hakata as they search for new homes and build relationships in war-torn Bougainville.
