A powerful work that is a call to arms on climate change for peoples across the Pacific and globally. Ancient Oceanic wisdom and worldviews harnessed in service to the most pressing crisis and leadership issue of our times.
It brings poetry, oratory, ancient prophecy, indigenous languages of Oceania – knowledge that has been passed down over three thousand years from the largest ocean in the world – and some of the smallest islands – about sustainability, survival, love, and ways of being in the world – to the world – in an evolutionary moment.
Featuring voices from: Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Hawaii, Aotearoa, Tonga, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Guam, Papua New Guinea, Kiribati, Torres Strait Islands.
This video is part of Mana Moana – Pacific Voices, a collection of emotive and artistic video works that have been curated by the special Mana Moana curators created to amplify and support the Pacific to drive global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This initiative is supported by Aotearoa New Zealand and coordinated by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme with support from many Pacific islands people, organisations and communities. These videos have been developed to be screened during the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) COP-26 and other relevant climate change events.
