Global warming will raise sea levels, wreaking havoc on the small island nations in the South Pacific. Some low-lying islands will be submerged completely while others will suffer massive damage. These impacts will change forever the Pacific islanders' natural environment, culture, livelihoods and lifestyles - all of which are intricately linked.
This programme sees these complex survival issues through the eyes of two teenagers -- Dilagi, a Fijian girl, and Bernard, a boy from Kiribati. Their plea: relocation is not a viable option, and our way of life is not negotiable.
