One World Media Festival

Last Saturday I has my first proper experience of public speaking – I was a panelist at the One World Media festival. One World funded me last year to produce the project Retomada in Brazil, looking at how the Guarani indigenous community are being affected by large scale monoculture agribusiness.

The talk and screening went well and there was a good attendance, there was also some other great events in including a talk about ‘the rising voice of the global south,’ and an interesting discussion about the rise of majority World practitioners gaining recognition in ‘putting the foreign back in foreign correspondent’ also a lighthearted end to the event with a comedy show by Jane Bussman, titled Bono and Geldof are C**ts.

Here’s a link to some photos, clipping and info about the event, and below is the piece that I produced with the grant and that was screened at the event.
