Bearing Witness 2018: Banabans of Rabi Trailer (PMC)

AUCKLAND: Trailer for the forthcoming short documentary Banabans of Rabi - A Story of Survival by Hele Ikimotu and Blessen Tom while on assignment in their 2018 Bearing Witness climate change project in Fiji.
"During the Second World War, the inhabitants of the island of Banaba were forcibly displaced to Rabi Island in Fiji due to phosphate mining by the British Phosphate Commission. The Island of Banaba was decimated and the Banabans had to start afresh in Rabi. The documentary follows the people in Rabi and sheds light into the problems that they face now, especially with climate change."
The documentary has been selected for the 2018 Nuku'alofa Film Festival in Tonga.
