Not that I can answer your question Rebecca, but here is another film you might want to include!:
Synopsis:
There Once was an Island - Te Henua e Nnoho gives a human face to the issue of global climate change. It is the story of a Pacific Island community fighting to preserve what really matters in the face of rising tides. Takuu Atoll is an idyllic home to articulate, educated people who maintain a 1,200-year-old culture and language. The island is disintegrating and when scientists arrive to investigate, residents realize that their attempts to preserve the atoll are making the situation worse. With limited means of communication or outside support, the people of Takuu must make the heart-wrenching decision of whether to risk their safety and remain on their beloved island or become environmental refugees and begin new lives in neighboring, but foreign, Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. There Once Was an Island - Te Henua e Nnoho is a sobering exposé on climate change and how a community's sense of identity will be lost in the rising tides.

Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has held any community conversations in conjunction with the documentary "The Island President" about the president of the Maldives who advocates for climate change legislation.
Our local indie film center has asked us to put together a post-film panel discussion on this and how it relates to us in Louisiana.
If anyone has done something similar, please contact me off-list.
Thanks!
