This action-research documentary focuses on the climate crisis in Senegal and its devastating impacts on the livelihoods of those living in small fishing communities in Dakar and Saint Louis. Through stories of local people and activists, the film challenges depoliticised constructs of the climate crisis as solely ‘natural’ and instead draws attention to the ongoing colonial continuities underpinning the climate crisis and the structures of racial capitalism that create socio-spatial inequalities in environment and mobility.
