On the remote island of Mandø, home to just 27 residents, harsh weather and flooding are part of daily life. But with climate change, these challenges are growing more extreme. Still, Gregers, the island’s last remaining farmer and a member of a family that has lived there for eight generations, refuses to leave. Featuring breathtaking cinematography of Mandø’s striking landscape and ever-changing skies, this award-winning documentary offers a moving and intimate look at a global crisis through one man’s enduring connection to his home.

Reviews

‘Johannesen is a visual anthropologist and spent time with the island’s inhabitants, listening to stories and earning their trust, before any cameras arrived; this results in a palpable intimacy between filmmakers and subjects.’
