Kathy just delivered an amazing poem at UN Climate Justice Convention in front of over a hundred heads of states. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4fdxXo4tnY Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner is a poet from Marshall Islands. I ran into this young talented artist via our London assistant Linda Kwon, who saw Kathy perform at a Poetry Parnassus event and was deeply moved by her poems. Linda insisted that I work with Kathy and make a video or two while I was in London. So we did two. This is the first one. For more information on Kathy, please go to http://jkijiner.wordpress.com/about/ This piece “Tell Them” focuses on climate change, a pressing threat for many low lying Pacific Island nations, including her own. Our second collaboration piece HISTORY PROJECT is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIIrrPyK0eU Filmed by Masahiro Sugano Produced by Studio Revolt http://studio-revolt.com/ Studio Revolt © 2012
