BURKINABÈ BOUNTY — directed by iara lee (Cultures of Resistance Films)
BURKINABÈ BOUNTY: agroecology in Burkina Faso chronicles agricultural resistance and the fight for food sovereignty in Burkina Faso—a small, landlocked country in West Africa. Showcasing activist farmers, students, artists, and leaders in the local Slow Food movement, the film looks at how the Burkinabè people are reclaiming their land and defending their traditions against the encroachment of corporate agriculture. From women gaining economic independence by selling “dolo” beer, to youth marching in the streets against companies like Monsanto, to hip-hop musicians reviving the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, BURKINABÈ BOUNTY: agroecology in Burkina Faso shows the creative tactics people are using to take back control of their food, seeds, and future.

Happy World Ocean Day! This commemoration, which takes place every June 8, reminds us of all the work we must do to protect our oceans. One looming threat to the underwater ecosystem is deep sea mining. Deep sea mining companies are currently lobbying to go down several thousand meters below the surface of the ocean to plunder the seabed for metals. In a few weeks, governments around the world will meet at the International Seabed Authority (ISA) in Jamaica to decide whether to allow this highly destructive industry to operate.![]()
