Shooting the Viliui Sakha Expedition for the Documentary Moving Day

国际移民组织（IOM）2008年关于移民和气候变化的报告指出，目前的估计预测，到本世纪中叶，气候变化将迫使“2500万至10亿人”离开家园。2009年6月，美国全球变化研究小组发布了一份报告，描述了阿拉斯加本土的情况：“几个土著社区下面的土地正在崩塌入海，迫使居民在搬迁和工程策略之间做出艰难而昂贵的选择。”生活在地球上一些受影响最严重地区的土著人民正处于危机的边缘。2010年7月，西伯利亚东北部的Viliui Sakha探险。人类学家苏珊·克拉特和环境科学家亚历山大·费多罗夫正在返回维利乌萨哈村，与西伯利亚的土著萨哈人交流他们三年研究气候变化和适应策略的结果。萨哈人的环境变化如此之快，这样的远征现在必须发生，不会再发生了。国家科学基金会的资金将使Ironbound电影公司为“移动日”拍摄维里伊·萨哈的探险，这是一部将在影院上映、电视和互联网上播出的纪录片。《搬家日》教育的是普通观众，尤其是高中和大学年龄段的观众；科学家;以及土著社区关于全球气候变化给人类带来的最大后果：环境移民。除了构成“移动的一天”纪录片的关键部分外，Viliui Sakha探险的镜头将用于创建一个简短的独立视频，该视频将用于：-推进该领域。该视频将提供给科学家进行教学、训练，并在类似的探险中用作指南。-通知土著社区。它将有助于解释科学家如何以及为什么与社区合作；其他社区是如何适应的；以及这些工作的结果如何被用来教育普通受众关于气候变化的知识。-提高能见度。该视频将在热门网络视频平台和“搬家日”网站上发布，以提高人们对纪录片和主题的认识。

The International Organization Migration (IOM)2008 Report on Migration and Climate Change notes that current estimates predict that by mid-century climate change will force between "25 million to 1 billion" people from their homes. A report released in June 2009 by the US Global Change Research Group describes the situation at home in Alaska: "The ground beneath several native communities is literally crumbling into the sea, forcing residents to confront difficult and expensive choices between relocation and engineering strategies." Indigenous people who live in some of the planet's most affected regions are on the precipice of the crisis.The Viliui Sakha expedition in Northeast Siberia occurs July 2010. Anthropologist Susan Crate and environmental scientist Alexander Fedorov are returning to Viliui Sakha villages to exchange with the Sakhas, an indigenous people of Siberia, the results of three years of research on climate change and adaptation strategies. The Sakhas' environment is transforming so quickly that such an expedition must happen now and will not happen again.NSF funds will enable Ironbound Films to shoot the Viliui Sakha expedition for "Moving Day," a documentary for theatrical release and television and internet broadcast. "Moving Day" educates general audiences, particularly of high school and college age; scientists; and indigenous communities about the greatest human consequence of global climate change: environmental migration. In addition to forming a critical part of the "Moving Day" documentary, footage from the Viliui Sakha expedition will be used to create a short standalone video, which will be used to: - Advance the field. The video will be made available for scientists to teach, train, and use as a guide on similar expeditions. - Inform indigenous communities. It will help explain how and why scientists work with communities; how other communities are adapting; and how the results of such work are being used to educate general audiences about climate change. - Raise visibility. The video will be posted on both popular online video platforms and the "Moving Day" website to raise awareness for the documentary and subject matter.
