The hungry tide / Screen Australia, SBS Australia, in association with Screen NSW present a Tom Zubrycki film.

"The central Pacific nation of Kiribati is expected to be one of the first countries to disappear as a result of climate change. Sea level rise and increasing salinity are threatening the homes and lives of 105,000 residents spread over 33 atolls. One of the least developed countries in the world, Kiribati has contributed little to worldwide carbon emissions, yet has the most to lose from global warming. The Hungry Tide clearly presents the tragic impact of climate change on Kiribati, and personalizes the story by following the life and work of Maria Tiimon, who becomes one of the most prominent advocates for the rights of Pacific Islanders."--Container.
