Tied with the Tides

Tuvalu is one of the world’s most vulnerable island nations: it is sinking. Rising sea levels threaten not only their land, but to their entire cultural identity. While there are global discussions on climate change about policy, movements and environmental activism, this documentary features a less discussed aspect: climate change through the eyes of the youth in Tuvalu.

The film focuses on the dilemma: Should these youth leave in pursuit of better education and opportunities, knowing that returning may not be an option? Or should they stay and fight for their home, the culture, the traditions that may disappear with the land?
