Description 1 online resource (1 streaming video (73 min.)) Series Ethnographic video online Summary This overview of contemporary life in the tiny South Pacific country of Tuvalu documents the earth's first sovereign nation faced with total destruction due to the effects of global warming. With a population of about 11, 000 living on a total landmass of only 20 square miles spread over nine low-lying atolls 600 miles to the north of Fiji, Tuvalu has been inhabited for over four millenia. The government of Tuvalu and other concerned organizations are directing their pleas for solutions to the wealthy countries whose high pollution emissions could be the central human contribution to this phenomenon. Observation, narration, and interviews with Tuvalu citizens from various walks of life flesh out a full portrait of a unique community confronting a dubious future Credits Director, Christopher Horner ; producer, Gilliane Le Gallic Cast Narrator, Lambert Wilson Notes Print version record Subject Global warming -- Tuvalu Sea level -- Environmental aspects -- Tuvalu Ecology.
