Film Description



Three years ago, the world’s third poorest country, Tuvalu, sold its dot tv internet domain name to a U.S. company for $25 million. Tuvalu’s 11,000 citizens then spent $6 million of this windfall tarring all 19km of the country’s roads. However climate experts now predict these roads could be under water within two decades—Tuvalu is likely to be the first country to disappear through the rising sea-levels caused by global warming. This documentary observes Tuvaluans during a critical period, as they come to terms with their predicament and struggle to make the rest of the world aware of their plight.
