Community Forests International alongside with partner NGO Community Forests Pemba will be screening Kokota: The Islet of Hope a VideoBand Production at The Ville Cooperative on Tuesday June 14 at 7:00 pm.

The documentary focuses on the challenges climate change has placed on vulnerable communities, specifically focusing on the areas around Pemba, Tanzania. Communities are having to adapt quickly and innovatively to climate change as they are becoming increasingly exposed on frontlines of our ecological crisis. Kokota: The Islet of Hope shows the world how communities are rallying together behind climate change to create adaptive and sustainable differences in the way we live.

Mbarouk Omar executive director of our partner NGO CFP is in Canada for the next two weeks and will be attending this event along with CFI’s executive director to help facilitate a great discussion period after the screening!

Come join us to learn, discuss and reflect on what is being done to combat climate change on community and grassroots level!
