There Once was an Island - A climate change documentary following the lives of three people on a remote Pacific Atoll as their way of life comes under threat. Showing the human impact of what is fast becoming a global disaster, the film also reveals life on Takuu with anthropological sensitivity and depth.
Climate change, previously referred to as global warming, has been widely debated but there is now widespread agreement that it is very real. Its impact is affecting everything from global food production to coastal property sales.
For the people of Takuu the effects of climate change are obviously very personal and direct. Sea-level rise is killing their gardens and eating into their coastline. This puts pressure on their culture as more people stop traditional activities and decide to leave the island for opportunities elsewhere if they can get them.
