MATAGI MĀLOHI : STRONG WINDS

The Pacific Climate Warriors, born out of the low-lying Pacific Islands, are an indigenous and youth-led movement that have been on the front lines of climate change for decades—their rally cry is “we are not drowning, we are fighting.”

In their own words "Matagi Mālohi tells the story of our journey to uplift our people and shape a narrative that paints us not as victims of the climate crisis but as the leaders, the healers, the nurturers, the artists, the gardeners, the growers, the seafarers and the navigators we are."

MOSSVILLE: WHEN GREAT TREES FALL

Mossville, Louisiana was once a thriving community founded by formerly enslaved and free people of color, and an economically flourishing safe haven for generations of African American families. Today, it’s a breeding ground for petrochemical plants and their toxic black clouds. Many residents are forced from their homes. Those that stay suffer from prolonged exposure to contamination and pollution. Amid all this stands one man who refuses to abandon his family’s land.
