An island in Louisiana is slowly being swallowed by the sea. The families who still live there face an almost impossible choice: stay for as long as possible as the water rises, or abandon their homes and leave. Like their ancestors who were displaced after the Indian Removal Act, they once again become victims of forced relocation – this time driven by climate change and oil industry expansion. At the center of this dilemma are teenagers Howard and Juliette, and their uncle Chris. Will they become some of America’s first climate refugees?
Read moreDanish director Sandra Winther has created a visually striking documentary in which both landscape and community take on a dreamlike beauty. Over several years, she followed the protagonists closely. The project began as a short film in 2019, but the story was far from over. In 2021, Hurricane Ida caused devastating destruction on the island. The project transformed into a feature-length documentary co-produced by Darren Aronofsky.
Through cinematography, editing, music, and sound design, the film merges into a deeply atmospheric whole – a sensorial documentary about a community that may soon be lost forever.
