Cine-ONU: Anote's Ark
Prior to the UN Climate Action Summit 2019 on 23 September in New York, the United Nations Information
Service (UNIS) Vienna, in cooperation with the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the United Nations (Vienna), this human
world filmfestivaland Topkino, invites you to the Ciné-ONU Vienna screening of the movie “Anote's Ark”.
The
Pacific island nation of Kiribati (population: 100,000) is one of the most remote places on the planet, seemingly farremoved
from the pressures of modern life. Yet it is one of the
first countries that must confront imminent annihilation from sea-level rise. Set against the
backdrop of international climate and human rights negotiations, President Anote Tong’s struggle to save his nation is intertwined
with the extraordinary fate of Tiemeri, a young mother of six, who fights to migrate
her family to New Zealand. At stake is the survival of Tiemeri’s family, the Kiribatipeople, and 4,000 years of Kiribati
culture.
