Episode 03: “Turning The Tide”

There’s a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Kiribati. It’s home to about 100,000 people, and in roughly 40 years, the entire island will be underwater due to rising sea levels from climate change. The people who live there will have no other option than to abandon their homes and their lives and find refuge in neighboring countries. To show how Skype isn't just a means to stay in touch, but a powerful productivity tool for good, war reporters Anna Therese Day and Gianluca Panella bring the story to the world's attention.
