Newtok: The Water Is Rising

This documentary follows the Yup'ik residents of Newtok, Alaska, as rising water threatens to erase their village entirely. To keep their culture and community intact, they must relocate the whole settlement upriver while battling government inertia. The film shows a community likely to become some of America's first climate refugees. A powerful watch for anyone interested in climate change, Alaska, and the human cost of a warming world.
