We Have to Survive is a cinematic odyssey documenting human adaptation across our shared home, revealing how lives at the far corners of the planet persist on a changing Earth and how that change still connects us all.
​
From the fragile Outer Banks of the USA, where the ocean slowly reclaims the land; the vast Mongolian desert, where a family plants trees against the wind; the
underground town of Coober Pedy in Australia, where people build their lives beneath the burning earth; and the icy shores of Greenland, where ancient fishing traditions melt into new beginnings, the film invites us into different rooms of our global home.
Through intimate, character-driven stories, it reveals not only the challenges of a changing world, but the quiet strength of those living through it - a reminder that,
despite distance and difference, we live under the same sky and share the same fragile planet. This is not a film about despair, but about courage. It’s a call to remember that our greatest power lies in care - for one another, and for the only home we have.
