The Eagle Hunter's Son - (c) Eden Film Stromberg Productions
The Carteret Islanders – a community living on a remote island chain in the South Pacific Ocean – are among the world’s first environmental refugees. When rising seas threaten their survival, the islanders face a painful decision: they must leave their beloved land in search of a new place to call home. The film follows their relocation and the leader of this effort, Ursula Rakova, along with a group of young islanders led by Nick Hakata as they search for land in Bougainville, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea 50 miles across the open ocean. San Kamap – or sun come up – means sunrise in pidgin and reflects the resilience of this community. Directed by Jennifer Redfearn. Produced by Jennifer Redfearn and Tim Metzger. 2011 Oscar
