[music] narrator professor helio santos is president of the foundation for racial equality, a Nongovernmental Organization in brazil. Narrator african slavery was big business in brazil. Treated more as commodities than human beings, black slaves became a major part of International Trade during colonialism and boosted the countrys economy. Narrator salvador de bahia, brazils First Capital city, was one of the major slave markets during the colonial era. Its dark history has repercussions today. [speaking spanish] narrator richard torciano is a director at incra, brazils National Institute for colonization and agrarian reform. Narrator quilombolas were runaway slaves who escaped from plantations and established their own settlements on small areas of agricultural land. These settlements are known as quilombos, and many exist to this day. Narrator 34yearold sandra desantos is a quilombola and community leader. The quilombo where shes always lived is called danda. Her grandfather created it. But today, sandra is involved in a bitter fight to preserve her familys way of life. Narrator the woman told sandra that she was the granddaughter of the landowner. This kind of dispute has become more common in recent years as farmers have come forward to claim legal ownership of potentially profitable land. Over the past century, Farming Families occupied lands in rural areas but often neglected them until real estate valu started to surge. In some cases its emerged that ownership documents have been forged. Narrator sandra feared that tractors would come and destroy their crops, so she brought together members of her community, and they appointed her to settle the dispute.

Then, in 2009, former president Lula Da Silva took a bold step that favored the quilombolas such as sandra and her community.

[music] [indistinct chatter] narrator Climate Change, pollution, and melting glaciers. What can one individual do . Filmmaker abbie barnes story with her own images, in her own words. [music] abbie my name is abbie, im 18 years old, and i live in the southwest of england. Ive always had a very deep connection with the Natural World around me and very much been aware of my position within it. It wasnt until i was about 13, though, that i began to be made aware of all of the different issuesenvironmental issuesthat are going on around the world. And it made me feel very angry. I could not comprehend why anybody would want to destroy what in my eyes was a priceless beauty for the sake of business. And i felt i had to speak up about it, and i started to do that through the use of film. There are two main projects im particularly proud of. The first is my short film about Marine Debris called save our oceans. I produced this when was 15, 16. Im talking about plastic. All save our oceans abbie i arranged a beach cleanup. I sought to involve my local community. I got newof the issue out onto my local radio stations, into my local newspapers. And i really just tried to get as many people involved and aware of the issue as possible. So the second project im most proud of is my climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in july 2014. And we were making a film about Global Climate change and the effect of Global Climate change on the mountain and the people around it. Global Climate Change is what it says it is. Its global. Its worldwide atmospheric alteration. And every Single Person is playing their part no matter how insignificant it is. In the last 20 years, 70 of Mount Kilimanjaros glaciers have disappeared, gone completely. After gaining a greater understanding of the issue, i really feel that it is big, but it is controllable if we all make small changes to our everyday lifestyle. If you choose to leave the tap on whilst doing your teeth, you could indirectly be affecting somebody on the other side of the planet. How . Well, our earth is immensely interconnected, more so than i think we could ever begin to comprehend. And if we mess with those systems, which we are, there are going to be negative consequences. But the thing that really motivates me most, that really drives me on, is when i receive feedback. When people come to me personally, and theyre completely hooked on that subject, and they want to do everything they can to help, and that really drives me forward because i feel that modern day society has kind of a complacency, an assumption that we can continue the way were going forever. But we are not living a Sustainable Way of life, and that is just not possible. [music] time is kind of running out. Heh. I feel that the greatest threat we face as a species is ourselves if we continue to ignore the things that we cannot seeGlobal Climate change, plastics in the ocean. We need to act now in order to ensure that the future generations, and that my generation, can continue to access this beautiful natural wonder around us. Its our life system. Its our life support. And without it, we just cannot ext. You can be taking action against all of these issues on our earth, and you are responsible, i am responsible, we are all responsible.
