Wednesday 20 March, 19:00 (Cinema Galeries)

Runtime: 77'

To highlight the UN Secretary-General's priority focus on climate action, the United Nations presents: 'Anote's Ark'

The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is one of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly far-removed from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the main existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from sea-level rise. While Kiribati’s President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his nation’s people and maintain their dignity, many Kiribati are already seeking safe harbour overseas.
