This tragic yet hopeful documentary tells the story of a small group of Island Atolls in the tropical Pacific that are disappearing because of sea rise. Travel to the home islands of a very special group of pacific islanders, the Lapita Navigators. The forefathers of many cultures in the tropical Pacific. They are losing their homes and crops because of sea level rise. Their livelihood and culture are dramatically threatened as the islands they live on are flooding day by day. A sailor, Steve Goodall, came across them on his travels and discovered they knew nothing about the current forecasts for sea level rise. Once informed they asked for his help. Steve took their statements, filmed their lifestyles and traveled to the Island of Yap to look for land. This is the story of their ancient culture and their flight to a new Island, Someplace with a Mountain.
