RISE: From One Island to Another

Overview

A poetic expedition between two Indigenous islanders, one from the Marshall Islands and one from Greenland, connecting their realities of melting glaciers and rising sea levels. Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Aka Niviâna use their poetry to showcase the linkages between their homelands in the face of climate change. Through this video we get a glimpse at how large, and yet so small and interdependent our world is.
