“What is it like to grow up in a place that’s going away?”
In this Emmy award-winning interactive documentary, meet three children living in the Marshall Islands, a nation threatened by rising seas. Without intervention, their country could become uninhabitable within their lifetimes. Explore the stories of 9-year-old Izerman, 14-year-old Julia, and 12-year-old Wilmer and bring them back to your classroom with a free multimedia lesson plan that examines the science and implications of climate change.
