As the climate crisis threatens Tahiti, three women begin a journey to protect their home.
Follow three Indigenous women - a community leader, a spearfisher and a teenage activist - as they cultivate an alliance at the front lines of climate change. Inspired by myths and rituals that shaped their Tahitian culture, these women move beyond bureaucracy and toward grassroots empowerment to oppose overdevelopment, take back indigenous land, and demand recognition from international leaders.
