linktv | 22 July 2010 More at http://www.linktv.org/earthfocus In this Earth Focus interview, filmmaker Jennifer Redfearn talks with correspondent Miles Benson about her new film, "Sun Come Up," which profiles some of the world's first climate change refugees, the people of New Guinea's Carteret Islands. In the film, we meet a group of young people tasked with traveling to Bougainville, 50 miles across the sea, to negotiate a new home for their fellow islanders, who are under threat from food and water shortages, decreasing land, and an ever-increasing population.
