A hand-drawn animated tribute to the people of Mauritius during the 2020 Wakashio oil spill.
On July 25, 2020, the bulk carrier MV Wakashio ran aground on a coral reef off the east coast of Mauritius. Twelve days later, it began leaking oil - triggering the worst environmental disaster the region had ever seen. Told through lyrical, hand-drawn animation and first-hand accounts from those who lived through the tragedy, this film is a heartfelt tribute to the people of Mauritius, who came together in an extraordinary act of solidarity to protect their fragile island paradise. A moving story for all who value nature and the power of community.
