Islands on the edge of time
A portrait of the Republic of Belau, a Pacific Island nation situated 3,000 miles southwest of Hawaii. Palau has a world famous coral reef ecosystem threatened by pollution and a 2,000-year-old matrilineal culture in danger of extinction. American democratic ideals were overthrown by U.S. military policy. People are fighting for their sovereignty and control of their resources in a global corporate economy bent on short-term profit at any price. The story is told through file footage and the visions of Palauans working to bring their nation into full membership in the planetary community with their culture and ecology intact
