The Hungry Tide, a documentary showing at the Sydney Film Festival last week, focuses on those islanders suffering on the front line of climate change. The Film maker Tom Zubrycki’s protagonist is Maria Tiimon, a shy, middle-aged Kiribati woman who now lives in Sydney.
As the Pacific outreach officer for a Catholic advocacy group the Edmund Rice Centre, it’s Tiimon’s job to alert the world to the plight of her homeland. The film follows Tiimon as she holds workshops with schools and community groups, catering both to her work and the needs of her extended family – or ”Noah’s Ark”, as she calls them – who still live back in Kiribati.
