AB Paul Lindsay’s Before the Flood (2004), Briar March’s There Once Was an Island: Te Henua e Nnoho (2010), and Michael Nash’s Climate Refugees (2010) all focus on the consequences of climate change for the common people in different parts of the world. This article investigates the ways in which the three documentaries promote ecologically conscious forms of cosmopolitanism and how they unveil what Ramachandra Guha and Juan Martínez-Alier have called “the environmentalism of the poor.” Lindsay, March, and Nash approach their topic indifferent ways and make use of different filmic techniques to raise awareness, concern, and sympathetic solidarity. Foregrounding local perceptions of nature and global interdependencies, their documentaries give viewers an emotionally charged glimpse into the human drama of climate change in order to then remind them of their own role and responsibility in it
