The documentary movie looks at three beautiful islands, shaken by climate change – Tuvalu in the South Pacific, Venice in Italy and Shishmaref in Alaska. They have different climates and cultures but the people all love their islands. The filming, which took three years, focused on their lives, including festivals and traditional crafts. When the people lose their homelands, their cultures and histories face death. By being close to them, we can feel the present state of the earth. The movie has no narration. It is a voyage around the world, listening to the sounds of waters and winds. –IMDb
