Inupiaq Eskimo have lived in Shishmaref on Sarichef Island off Alaska’s Seward Peninsula for an estimated 4,000 years. Bound by the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Strait, the residents of Shishmaref rely on the frozen north to sustain their way of life, hunting walrus and bearded seal, caribou and ducks, and whatever else the seasonal bounty provides. As the world debates the causes and effects of global climate change, the Arctic glaciers melt, eroding the coast of this island community and leaving the land vulnerable to the powerful storms that rage closer and closer to shore. As a result, the Inupiaq are losing their homes and quite possibly their ancient culture. Against the stark white background of Alaskan winters, this moving documentary tells the story of the some of the first climate-change refugees who must relocate to the mainland and face an uncertain future.
