Synopsis: As climate change erases the Louisiana coast, the last two teenagers remaining on Isle de Jean Charles fight to stay on the island which has been their family’s home for generations. These teenagers, and the other residents living on Isle de Jean Charles, have been labelled as America’s first ‘climate refugees’ – but none of them want to leave the island they love. They consider their home to be irreplaceable. Lowland Kids documents their reality – a reality which will soon be felt by many if drastic action isn’t taken to counter climate change.
