A poetically catastrophic visual journey to Cape Verde, where locals are faced with the effects of climate change on an extraordinary and unsettling scale.
On the islands of Cape Verde in the Atlantic, sea turtles are born as devastating hurricanes rage. In areas that have gone years without rain, storms sweep in tons of debris, burying the land. Shifts in wind patterns confuse the turtles, making survival increasingly difficult. The landscape itself is slowly turning into a parched desert. Amid this seemingly apocalyptic reality, local residents wage a David-and-Goliath struggle against climate change. Their daily efforts offer a glimmer of hope for both the wildlife and the youngest generation of the islands.
