This is my second time watching this video & I cried harder this time compared to the first time. I’m more engaged in my roots now, so this hit different. ❤

The style of this film is beautiful. Reminded me very much of Terrence Malick.

i found this moving and informative. i am awakened to something i previously never understood, that the giant crater i once thought of as a coral reef, is in fact man made, no lesser tragedy than that perpetrated upon nagasaki or hiroshima to our mother earth and her indigenous creatures. this includes humans too. -- "who gave them this power, who anointed them with the power to burn" --

Eventually our beloved homelands will perish.The world cannot or will not listen to the voices of the pacific.The further we ignore this threat it will worsen.The scattered island nations will be the first to pay.As its already happening this very moment.The people will migrate elsewhere.Our cultures must be preserved. I've begun writing books to further preserve various traditions of RMI.In effort to prevent the culture of being lost.

Only if all the Pacific comes together as a reunited people can we begin to claim back what is ours, for each other, for our selves, for our ancestors, for our descendants. Polynesians Together. It's the only way.

We saw this touching documentary at the Museum in Geneva. Anyone knows where we can find the song “A song for runit” and its lyrics? Thank you in advance!

Hello dearest Kathy. I am looking at your beautiful and dangerous island from which you were expelled, it is a sad island without the children's play, the population... You, Kathy, so beautiful, want to go back but you can't, it's unimaginable for me in Croatia too. While I dream about the beautiful atolls in the Pacific Ocean, in your homeland, that there is a forbidden place, destroyed for children and future generations, tear after tear comes and I want to go right there and die in that beauty. I want to live a little longer in your paradise. It's so beautiful and sad. 🙏❤️🇭🇷

Don't know how to describe my feelings. I am ashamed my country did this, and how little accountability they take for it. I hope greed and thirst for war will soon be just a memory.

It is the hypocrisy of the powerful morally corrupt who shove money economy into a once beautiful sustainable free nature-loving life of no wants. Forever changed and burnt. Your poem is most poignant.
