There's an invisible creature in the waves around Sarichef. This relentless monster is altering the lives of the Inupiat people who call the island home. Forced to move to the center of the island for temporary refuge from the rising sea level, a young girl and her family wrestle with the creature intent on devouring them. Soon the entire village will have to relocate to the mainland. Heartbroken, the young girl and her grandfather worry: what else will be lost when they are forced to abandon their homes and their community? Addressing the topic of climate refugees, My Wounded Island is based on the challenges faced by the Inupiat people who live on the small islands north of the Bering Strait near the Arctic Circle.
