What if your community had to decide whether to leave its homeland forever and there was no help available? This is the reality for the culturally unique Polynesian community of Takuu, a tiny low-lying atoll in the South Western Pacific. As a terrifying tidal flood rips through their already damaged community, the Takuu people experience the devastating effects of climate change first hand. In this verite-style film, three intrepid characters—Teloo, Endar and Satty—invite us into their lives and their culture and show us first hand the human impact of an environmental crisis. Should they make the move to an uncertain future in the city, or to stay on Takuu and fight for a different, but equally uncertain, outcome?
