ANOTE'S ARK
TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 2:00PM & 6:30PM
https://www.grandcinema.com/films/anote-s-ark/

The Pacific Island nation of Kiribati (population: 100,000) is one of the
most remote places on the planet, seemingly far-removed from the pressures
of modern life. Yet it is one of the first countries that must confront the
main existential dilemma of our time: imminent annihilation from sea-level
rise.

While Kiribati's President Anote Tong races to find a way to protect his
nation's people and maintain their dignity, many Kiribati citizens are
already seeking safe harbour overseas. Set against the backdrop of
international climate and human rights negotiations, Anote's struggle to
save his nation is intertwined with the extraordinary fate of Sermary, a
young mother of six, who fights to migrate her family to New Zealand.

At stake is the survival of Sermary's family, the Kiribati people, and
4,000 years of Kiribati culture.

Plays as part of the Tacoma Community College Diversity Film Series. Join
TCC for a discussion after the 2PM screening in The Grand Cinema's lower
lobby.

*"Sermary's storyline is less flashy but more impactful, showing the
emotional toll of climate change inaction on Indigenous culture." *— Kevin
