TIME & TIDE is a poetic and absorbing documentary about a land and its people as they head toward irreversible tragedy. The story is told through the eyes of a group of expatriates from the island nation of Tuvalu. When they return to their home island after being away for many years, they find a place vastly different from the one they remember - the forces of globalization and global warming are severely reshaping the land and people they once knew so well.
TIME & TIDE takes an unflinching look at the tragic fate of this remote island country, walking the line between hope and unimaginable loss. Within an artfully woven tapestry that confronts these profound global issues, the film paints an honest and poignant portrait of a homeland on the brink of extinction.
