This documentary film follows the story of the last two teenagers living on the once thriving Isle de Jean Charles, LA, their strikingly beautiful ancestral home that is now being swallowed by the sea.
“Sandra Winther’s intimate approach to storytelling brings audiences into the heart of this historic moment, showing the strength and resilience of a family facing an uncertain future. This is one of the most cinematic and beautiful climate films we have seen in recent years, and is a timely reminder of the impending erosion of land that will result in many families facing a similar fate.”
Sarah Mosses, Founder and CEO of Somerset House residents Together Films
A visceral film that pits man against nature, this story provides an inside look into the lives of families living on the brink of the climate crisis.

Marking 25 years of Somerset House, this series celebrates film and moving image work from across our resident creative community.
Inviting just a handful of our 600 resident organisations and artists to screen their film and moving image work, this series creates a space for peer-to-peer dialogue, sharing the processes and collaborations involved.
From documentaries that surface stories of migration and the environment, to films borne out of the exceptional creative talent of neurodiverse directors and performers - enjoy visual storytelling that pushes boundaries at the intersection of creativity and social change.
