Matagi Mālohi : Strong Winds

Fenton Lutunatabua

A young Pacific Islander girl emerges from ocean waters in this film poster for "Matagi Malohi - Strong Winds," an official selection at Mountainfilm 2020 and EarthxFilm 2020 addressing climate change impacts.

“Matagi Mālohi tells the story of our journey to uplift our people and shape a narrative that paints us not as victims of the climate crisis but as the leaders, the healers, the nurturers, the artists, the gardeners, the growers, the seafarers and the navigators we are.”

The United Nations has identified Tuvalu as one of the four countries most at risk due to rising sea levels. This film pays homage to the resilience of the youth on the frontlines of climate change.
