Created entirely from the words of the plaintiffs, Sentinels is a short film that tells the true story of 25 young Colombians who took their government to court for the deforestation of the Amazon.
If they lost they would set a precedent for inaction. If they won they would open up a new front in the fight against climate change. 

Sentinels was hosted at the London Design Biennale and won the Kings College: Communicating Research Award.  It then went on to win Best Film at the Edinburgh Conservation Film Festival and Best Short at the My Name Is Climate Film Festival.
