1. Anote's Ark
This documentary follows the president of Kiribati as he confronts an existential threat: his low-lying Pacific nation is being swallowed by rising seas, and he must find a way to preserve his people and their homeland. A moving climate-change portrait.
Curator’s note: Anote's Ark is a strong foreign-authored film whose sustained setting or subject engages with Kiribati.
