Our Atoll Speaks

Our Atoll Speaks (Ko Talatala Mai Tō Mātou Wenua) directed by Gemma Cubero del Barrio and in partnership with the People of Pukapuka is an award winning short film meditation on the environmental knowledge of the people of Pukapuka/Nassau, an atoll in the Northern Group of the Cook Islands. This communal poem, developed from interviews with Pukapukans from 2015-2017, interweaves stunning images of land, sky, and sea. Climate change and rising sea levels is the biggest threat to our island futures. Conservation practices developed over thousands of years have something to teach. This documentary provides a visual metaphor for indigenous climate knowledge from the perspective of the atoll and her people.
