"Taivalu" (2010) - typhoons and rising sea levels in Taiwan/Tuvalu (Flyer pdf)

Documentary and Discussion with project team member Na Zou

"The island nation of Tuvalu is expected to be the first victim of rising sea levels associated with climate change. This documentary examines the current situation in Tuvalu and draws parallels with ecological situations facing Taiwan. The film won the Grand Prize and Best Documentary Prize at the 2011 Taipei International Film Festival." – Taiwan Insights

"Tuvalu is an ally of Taiwan located in the southern Pacific Ocean. Its territory consists of only 26 square kilometers, and will be the first island nation to be submerged by the oceans once the sea level rises due to global warming. The director, Huang Hsin-yao (黃信堯), left his hometown after the 1988 flooding disaster in Taiwan in search of this disappearing island called Tuvalu. The filming process is marked by a succession of unexpected events." – IMDb
