Broadcast Premiere for Sun Come Up

Sun Come Up will have its broadcast premiere on HBO2 - October 12 at 8pm! Directed by Jennifer Redfearn, Sun Come Up is an ACADEMY AWARD® nominated film that shows the human face of climate change.

The film documents the relocation of the Carteret Islanders, a community living on a remote island chain in the South Pacific Ocean, and now, some of the world’s first environmental refugees.

When climate change threatens their survival, the islanders face a painful decision. They must leave their ancestral land in search of a new place to call home. Sun Come Up follows a group of young islanders as they search for land and build relationships in war-torn Bougainville, 50 miles across the open ocean.

Sun Come Up provokes discussion about climate change, displacement, and the rights of vulnerable communities around the globe.
