NEWTOK

WORLD PREMIERE As the effects of climate change become ever more apparent throughout the world, the Yup'ik people and their lands on the western outskirts of Alaska face a much more imminent threat. In the town of Newtok, years of rising temperatures have eroded the frozen foundation of the area. With their homes and way of life hanging in the balance, the town's residents weigh the prospect of relocating the community or abandoning their traditional lands forever.  - Brandon Harrison
