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. 

The film is now being entered into international film festivals. Contact Crowded Room for more information.
