Protect What You Love | Protect Your Island - Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans - Bali, Indonesia - by Yoshitaro Yanagita (7:47) INDONESIA
PangeaSeed Foundation, in collaboration with TROPICA Bali Street Art Festival, hosted the first large-scale Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans project in Southeast Asia: Sea Walls Bali.

In September of 2018, a team of 19 international and local artists and changemakers gathered on the island of Nusa Penida, off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, to create a series of public artworks addressing marine environmental topics relevant to the local community and environment.

OUR ATOLL SPEAKS, Ko Talatala Mai Tō Mātou Wenua (TRAILER) by Gemma Cubero del Barrio (1:20)  US | COOK ISLANDS
Our Atoll Speaks (Ko Talatala Mai Tō Mātou Wenua) is a short film meditation on the environmental knowledge of the people of Pukapuka/Nassau, an atoll in the Northern Group of the Cook Islands. This short documentary is a communal film poem from the perspective of her people.

Climate change disaster is the biggest threat to our oceans, islands, diversity, and sustainable future. Indigenous climate knowledge and conservation practices developed over thousands of years have something to teach. When we know our environment, we understand how to conserve and adapt to it. A communal poem developed from interviews with Pukapukans from 2015-2017 interweaves with stunning images of the translucent seas, frigate birds, spearfishing, and taro patches. This communal poem provides a visual metaphor for indigenous climate knowledge.
The Beauty - by Pascal Schelbli (4:14) GERMANY
What if plastic could be integrated into sea life? Take a deep breath and dive into a world where feelings of guilt dissolve amongst the mysterious depths of the ocean. In this world, we encounter bizarre creatures and discover eerily beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately, our air doesn't last forever, and we have to realize that nature alone can't solve this issue.
MABON ‘The 8 year old activist’ - by Jack Davies (4:39) UK
An 8-year-old boy, Mabon, is residing on the stunningly stark north welsh coast. He works with his mum to keep the welsh beaches clean, spending hours each week scouring the sand of plastic waste.

We need to be thinking about our future generations, who will grow up educated, passionate, and enthused by the idea of climate and social change. These future adults will grow up in the world we have left them, with the same plastic carrier bags we threw into the ocean, floating past as they swim in the sea 50 years from now.

We feel Mabon's is an extraordinary story that many people will sit up and pay attention to. We want to listen to his thoughts about the world he lives in, the beaches, the litter, the nets, and things he would say to the world that has left him this mess to deal with.
An Ocean of Tea - by Grégoire Scherpe (5:38) FRANCE / MOROCCO
Boujmaa Guilloul, a Moroccan pro windsurfer, talks about his connection with the sea in the country of Essaouira, located in Morocco.
The Sentinel - by Brendan Donovan (4:13) NEW ZEALAND
The population of Antipodean Albatross is in free-fall; we’ve lost 60% of them since 2005. In two decades, they’ll be extinct. After a million years of evolution, they are now competing with our hunger. And they’re losing.
