Continent Chop Chop as part of Plaforma Festival, Leicester 2015

A story of austerity, refugees and climate destruction told through poetry, music, and transmedia.

Climate justice stories from across the world weaved together via Afrobeat influences, experimental electronics, English Folk and deconstructed imperial anthems.

Continent Chop Chop asks: What are the connections between climate change and poverty? How does the wider climate of austerity and scapegoating of migrants connect with climate change? And why should anyone care when they don't have enough to eat?

Featuring commissioned films from Nnimmo Bassey and Zena Edwards. Directed by Amanda Huxtable, and created by the Virtual Migrants collective (Sai Murray, Aidan Jolly, Maya Chowdhry, Tracey Zengeni, Kooj Chuhan, Jaydev Mistry).
