THE HUNGRY TIDE
The Pacific nation of Kiribati is likely to be the first country in the world to disappear as a result of climate change.
Maria Tiimon, a Kiribati woman living in Sydney, has the task of alerting the world to her sinking homeland. We follow her to the Copenhagen Climate Conference and a year later to Cancun. Right from the start Maria struggles to find a balance between her advocacy work and the financial needs of her large family living on the islands. Meanwhile back on Kiribati sea walls are crumbling, and storm tides are sweeping into villages.
