The Alaska coastal villages of Kivalina and Newtok, under threat from erosion, are the subject of an Al Jazeera America documentary scheduled to air on Sunday.
The 30-minute episode, titled "When the Water Took the Land," is part of the network's in-depth news program Fault Lines. The episode is the work of a team of journalists, led by Alaska Public Radio Network veteran Libby Casey, who traveled to the northwest Alaska villages.
