Anote’s Ark

A film by Matthieu Rytz

An Island disappearing.

What do you do when your nation is being swallowed by the sea? Kiribati, population 100,000, is destined to disappear within decades. Interweaving two stories of survival and resilience, Anote’s Ark explores what it takes to migrate an entire nation with dignity.

“Rytz captures the magnitude of the beauty of the atoll nation of Kiribati, its people, and their indigenous way of life through stunning imagery of the skinny strips of land that make up the majority of the Kiribati coastline. The ocean and the land become characters too, as Rytz’ juxtaposes footage of the paradise-like land with footage of the brutal, furious typhoons that tear the island homes to shreds.”
