Tuvalu: Keeping Heads Above Water

Scientists expect the island nation of Tuvalu to disappear into the sea during the next few decades. If that is true, what will become of the country’s citizens and its unique South Pacific culture? Should the traumatic task of evacuation begin now, and if so, to where and under what circumstances? This program grapples with those questions by interviewing key figures in Tuvalu’s government and populace while presenting compelling scenes of the ongoing environmental calamity. Centered on the main island of Funafuti, the film explores the growing significance of climate change issues in Tuvaluan political life and examines plant species that are dying off due to encroaching sea water—leading to more land erosion. (Portions in other languages with English subtitles, 25 minutes)
