The award-winning film "Time & Tide" is a poetic and absorbing documentary about the South Pacific nation of Tuvalu and its people as they head toward irreversible tragedy brought on by the twin forces of globalization and global warming. The story is told through the eyes of a group of Tuvaluan expatriates. Most of them have been away from home for many years. Now they travel across the ocean from their adopted home of New Zealand, back to their home island of Funafuti, capital of Tuvalu. On their way, they reminisce about their beloved homeland in eager anticipation of their arrival. But they are ill-prepared for the Tuvalu that awaits them. A multi-million dollar deal with a US-based internet company has resulted in new development and a flock of foreigners in search of opportunity. As both the locals and expats struggle to cope with the effects of this change on Tuvaluan culture, a greater threat looms on the horizon: a steadily rising sea level due to global warming that is stealing their precious and already limited land. "Time & Tide" takes an unflinching look at the ironic and tragic fate of this remote island country, walking the line between hope and unimaginable loss. With an artfully woven tapestry that confronts these profound global issues, "Time & Tide" paints an honest and poignant portrait of a homeland on the brink of extinction.
