"The people on a remote Pacific island face the devastating effects of climate change. As an enormous flood threatens to engulf their paradise, who will decide to flee and leave their culture behind forever? And who will stay, hoping that God will save them? I like my home. I have the sea, I have the crops. I could live, Satty says, surveying the aquamarine sea. Like Satty, Telo knows that the tribe's culture--its unique language and ancient dances--would probably not survive if they moved to the mainland. Nevertheless, he boards the boat with his family to leave the island and enter a foreign land were trees are replaced by billboards. This powerful documentary demonstrates the very real cost of climate change. (57 minutes) A streaming videorecording."

"The Takuu live in a Polynesian paradise. Among the towering palms, crystal blue waters, and white-sand beaches of an atoll off the shores of Papua New Guinea, the people of Nukutoa carry on without electricity and free from notions of private ownership. But the rising South Pacific is eroding their shores, threatening their taro crops and shoreline huts, forcing them to accept federal subsidies to survive. When the government offers to relocate the islanders to the mainland before the sea water overtakes them, the Takuu request instead that environmental scientists investigate a way to save their home. Told from the perspective of three main characters, this film gives a human face to the direct impacts of climate change in the Pacific."@en
