A seat at the table - CAMBODIA

“Seat at the Table” aims to paint a truly global picture of the climate emergency facing our world.

Jack Harries, 28, filmmaker and activist, has talked with farmers and firefighters, inventors and activists. People whose voices need to be heard at the COP26’s global climate conference. 

I shot one of the story of episode one, the story of Chhum Shim (min 5.00), a Cambodian rice farmer impacted by weather patterns altered by climate change. To pay back the loan she took out for her farm, she and her family left their home in the countryside to work in a brick kiln in the capital. She, like many others, is a climate migrant.
