“Tell Them“ by Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner at Southbank Centre for London 2012 Poetry Parnassus

Kathy just delivered an amazing poem at UN Climate Justice Convention in front of over a hundred heads of states. 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 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: Filmed by Masahiro Sugano Produced by Studio Revolt Studio Revolt © 2012
