Islands in Between

A visual journey through the communities living between rising water and a rapidly changing coastline.

Developed through long-form field research, the film combines observational footage, public records, and first-person testimony. It asks how communities live with decisions made beyond their immediate reach—and what evidence looks like from the ground.

Filmed over two wet seasons with communities across Papua and Maluku coastlines.
