We Have to Survive 2026

Synopsis

A sweeping yet intimate journey across a planet in flux. Moving from the sinking shores of North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the windswept deserts of Mongolia, from the subterranean dwellings of Coober Pedy in Australia to the thawing coasts of Greenland, the film enters the “rooms” of our shared global home. In each place, lives unfold at the fault lines of change: a family planting trees against encroaching sand, communities building underground to escape relentless heat, fishers navigating uncertain waters.
