Someplace with a Mountain (2010) - IMDb
Watched this documentary last night. It was heart rending to watch these people learn that their home will soon disappear. The ocean has risen five inches in five years and the salt water is killing their crops and shrinking the island. They're hoping to relocate to Yap but lack funding and the hep they need to physically do it. Four thousand people, children, animals - all will slowing sink beneath the rising sea.
The documentary in on the Documentary channel and well worth watching.
Below is a link to the petition to the US government to help them relocate while they still have time. It seems only fair that since the US is the world's biggest polluter (yeah, China is catching up, especially since we're sending them our soft coal that is illegal to burn here) ... The US should help these people find a new home.
