In this second podcast in our series on trade justice, Pambazuka News spoke to environmental activist Marcelo Calazans in Brazil on the day a Quilombola community reclaimed land from a destructive monoculture eucalyptus plantation. The Quilombolas are the descendants of slaves brought by the Portuguese from Angola and Congo.

Raised Voices: views from the South Call out for filmmakers to send testimonies from the global South on climate change

We are currently collecting short testimonies from Southern peoples on issues related to climate change for the upcoming UN climate talks in Canada in December 2005. The project seeks to push open political space for the views of those most affected who do not have a voice at the talks. Raised Voices has already collected testimonies on the G8 in 2005 which created a vital space where those affected by G8 policies could express themselves - unmediated and uncensored. The testimonies will be screened in progressive spaces during the talks in Montreal and be available for people to screen locally. The clips will also be on the website http://www.raisedvoices.net where transcript, image and audio are also available.

So if you have access to a camera and can interview people from the South (including Indigenous peoples in the global North and people from Central and Eastern Europe) then please get in touch with Heidi at [email protected]

*We do not have funding for this project but may be able to contribute to costs if necessary.

Raised Voices is coordinated by the Transnational Institute (http://www.tni.org)
