The World is (Y)Ours
Synopsis
The World is (Y)Ours - a short documentary film produced by Pocc and My Accomplice, which looks at climate change from the perspective of black and brown people in Britain. The film, narrated by musician Louis VI and directed by Tanya Noushka, explores through a number of contributors, how actions in Western countries can negatively affect our ancestral homes across the world. In addition, black and minority ethnic communities living in Western countries are more likely to be adversely affected by the negative effects of climate change ahead of any other group. How can we rise up and make sure we have our say?
