Thirty Million, the number of expected people displaced, in Bangladesh by the end of the century, from rising seas. As the climate system warms the world’s oceans are rising. There is large uncertainty about how fast our seas will rise, but one things is for sure, they will. The best estimates from the scientific community indicate, that with current pledged climate action, we could witness sea levels rise by up to one meter by 2100.

This film was envisioned by Daniel Price, an environmental scientist who has spent a decade studying the climate system and in particularly investigating Antarctica’s role in the climate system. After his latest of three fieldwork campaigns to the Antarctic, he started Pole to Paris, a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of COP21 in Paris last December. While his colleague Erlend Moster Knudsen ran from the Arctic Circle to Paris, beginning in the Antarctic he cycled over 10,000 km through 19 countries giving a public speaking tour and reporting the impacts and potential consequences of climate change along the way. En route, he stopped off in Bangladesh.

Daniel was joined on the ground in Bangladesh by friends Adrien Taylor, Sam Walls and Michael Roberts. They only had three weeks to plan and shoot the entire documentary and worked voluntarily.
