Our Atoll Speaks

Documentary | 14 min 19

Climate change is the biggest threat to our oceans, islands, diversity, and sustainable future.

Our Atoll Speaks (Ko Talatala Mai Tō Mātou Wenua) is a meditation on the environmental knowledge of the people of Pukapuka/Nassau, an atoll in the Northern Group of the Cook Islands. A communal film poem from the perspective of her people.
