Environmental refugees
TVO (tv ontario) 8 pm sunday and repeating at 1:30am
Each year, millions of people the world over are driven to forced displacement. From the Maldives to Brazil, and even here in Canada, the disturbing accounts of people who have been uprooted are amazingly similar. The enormous pressure placed on rural populations as a result of the degradation of their life-supporting environment is driving them further from their way of life. The documentary sheds light on the little-known plight of a category of individuals who are suffering the repercussions of this reality: environmental refugees. They are constantly growing in number and often have no legal status, even though their right to a clean and sustainable environment has been violated.
