Time & Tide (2005). This film is a poetic and thought-provoking documentary about a land and its people heading towards irreversible tragedy. The story is told through the eyes of a group of expatriates from the tiny island nation of Tuvalu. On their way, they reminisce about the Tuvalu from their memories and eagerly anticipate arriving in their beloved homeland. But their nostalgia quickly gives way to reality and they find themselves ill-prepared for the Tuvalu that awaits them. A multi-million dollar deal with an internet company has brought new development, altering the landscape. As the islanders struggle to deal with severe cultural change due to globalization, a greater threat looms, driven by climate change resulting from global warming. The film takes an unflinching look at the ironic and tragic fate of this remote island country, walking the line between hope and unimaginable loss, painting an honest and endearing portrait of a land and its culture on the brink of extinction.
