SAVING TUVALU follows three young Tuvaluans facing an uncertain future as their homeland disappears beneath rising seas. On the brink of losing everything, they become involved in preservation projects, including the building of a digital nation that promises to transfer their culture and identity online. But not everyone is turning to digitisation for salvation.
