Environmental Justice- PWFF

Championing African, BIPOC ( Black, Indigenous, & People of Colour) and Global South perspectives, the Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival is a platform for African storytellers engaged with wildlife, biodiversity and environmental justice. Proud to have Blue Burning selected for this 2025 festival.

Coelacanths were known only from fossils and believed to have vanished with the dinosaurs—until a live one was found off the coast of South Africa. Extraordinary fish, their fins move like a walking animal’s limbs. They give birth to live young after a three-year gestation. A unique joint inside the skull lets them widen their mouth to vacuum-suction prey—something no other living vertebrate does. They are also found in the deep canyons near where oil and gas companies want to drill. The Oceans Not Oil movement is trying to stop this.
