LOWLAND KIDS

US PREMIERE Set on Louisiana’s rapidly vanishing Isle de Jean Charles, this quietly powerful documentary captures the lives of two teenagers and their uncle as they navigate the slow erosion of their home. Faced with forced resettlement by the US government, their story unfolds through intimate, observational filmmaking that renders their daily lives with empathy and unbridled honesty. As the land disappears beneath their feet, the film offers a timely, human portrait of climate displacement. – Murtada Elfadl

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director Sandra Winther and film protagonist Juliette Brunet.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
