The Refugees of the Blue Planet
20070 minsColor
Multiple Directors
As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
In 2003, the United Nations revealed that for the first time in history, more refugees were disrupted by environmental factors than from war or political persecution. As the number of natural disasters increases and governments spend more time debating their role and responsibility as global citizens than effecting change, Canadian filmmakers Helene Choquette and Jean-Philippe Duval focus on the actual plight of individuals from the Maldives to Brazil who are being uprooted by the degradation of the environment they depend upon to live.
