BBC ALBA - Soillse, Series 3, Eilean Takuu/There Once Was an Island

A' sabaid airson a bhith beò air Eilean Takuu. The fight for survival on Takuu Island.

Takuu Island is in crisis. As an enormous flood threatens to engulf paradise, who will decide to flee and leave their culture behind forever?

Tha Eilean Takuu ann an staing. Tha stoirmean nas pailte agus tha dùil aca ri tuil mhòr, cò a theicheas agus a dh' fhàgas an dualchas air an cùlaibh gu bràth? Agus cò a dh'fhuiricheas 's iad làn dòchais gu sabhal Dia iad. Mhill an tuil mu dheireadh dachaighean agus barran, agus cha b' urrainn do riaghaltas Bougainville am baile as fhaisge orra air tìr mòr biadh no taic a thoirt seachad oir chan eil ach aon bàta a' dol air ais 's air adhart bhon eilean.

Takuu Island is in crisis. As an enormous flood threatens to engulf paradise, who will decide to flee and leave their culture behind forever? And who will stay, hoping only that God will save them? The recent flood destroyed homes and crops, and the government of the nearest mainland town of Bougainville has been unable to transport food or assistance with only one boat servicing the island.
