Displaced on Java - A village battling rising sea levels | DW Documentary

In 2014, the first flood caught the sleeping residents of the Javanese village off guard. Since then, rising sea tides have kept engulfing the village. The water is still rising — up to 15 centimeters in a year. So far, the residents of the village of Timbulsloko in Java have been able to keep pace with the rising sea levels by building their homes on higher ground. How long can that go on for? Where once roads and vast rice fields stood, there's now nothing but water.
