by Briar March80 minsClosed captioning available
Takuu, a tiny atoll in Papua New Guinea, contains the last Polynesian culture of its kind. Facing escalating climate change impacts, including a terrifying flood, community members Teloo, Endar, and Satty take viewers on an intimate journey into their lives, dreams and fears as they weigh relocating to war-ravaged Bougainville as environmental refugees or staying to fight for their unique language and culture. Two visiting scientists investigate the environmental crisis on the island. Four years in the making and winner of 15 international awards.
