Synopsis
A portrait of Maria Tiimon, a Kiribati woman living in Sydney, who was charged with the task of alerting the world about her sinking homeland. The Pacific nation of Kiribati is forecast to be the first country in the world to disappear as a result of climate change. Here, we follow Maria to the Copenhagen Climate Conference and then a year later to Cancun. From very early on, she struggles to find a balance between her advocacy work and the financial needs of her family. Meanwhile back on Kiribati, sea-walls are crumbling and storm tides are sweeping into villages.
