Film: On the frontlines in Brazil

THE NETWORKINITIATIVES
Written By Chris Hatherill
 
For the last two months, blobs of oil from a mystery spill have been washing up along a 1400 mile stretch of Brazil's northeast coastline. This ocean emergency is impacting sea life, coastal communities and Brazilians who have volunteered to help clean up the toxic mess.
 
 

A new film from our team in Brazil looks at the impact oil is having on local communities and what we’re doing to fight back. You can read more about the spill and hit Donate to help us equip the resistance today.

 
 
 
 

Help us respond to this new environmental emergency in Brazil. All donations will go towards funding cleanups in the country, helping us train volunteers and provide much-needed equipment.
