Film, panel discussion, Q&A

YUMI, a powerful film about courage, climate justice, and determination, tells the incredible story of three inspiring law students, Solomon, Vishal, and Romabeth, who set out on an amazing journey from the University of the South Pacific to bring climate change before the world's highest court through the United Nations. Their mission? To save their home islands from extinction!

The three students learn how to deal with ministers, ambassadors, and commissioners, experience the frustrations of diplomacy, and take on the challenges of their ambitious goal: to push through a historic resolution by the United Nations so that the International Court of Justice finally legally establishes the obligations of states to tackle climate change.

Language: English (no subtitles)
