Sun Come Up - The Film

"Sun Come Up" documents a group of young Carteret islanders as they leave their ancestral home to search for land and build relationships in war-torn Bougainville, fifty miles across the open ocean. The film provokes discussion about climate change, displacement, and the rights of vulnerable communities around the globe.

Nationwide screenings of the film are being sponsored by the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change.

Iowa State faculty participants include Clark Wolf, director of the Bioethics Program and Cinzia Cervato, professor of Geological & Atmospheric Sciences. Anne Clifford, the Msgr. James Supple Chair of Catholic Studies, will moderate.
