Environmental Documentary ‘Wild Coast Warriors,’ About a Legal Battle Against Shell in South Africa, Picked Up by Limonero (EXCLUSIVE)


Limonero Films has picked up world rights to distribute environmental documentary 'Wild Coast Warriors,' which launches at Mipdoc.

The film aims to raise awareness of the plight of small coastal communities on South Africa’s Wild Coast, who are standing up to the oil and gas industry. Pippa Ehrlich, director of “My Octopus Teacher,” said “Wild Coast Warriors” was “a critical story about the power of community advocacy, and a warning to big corporations that there is strength in the voices of vulnerable people who are connected to and dependent on their land.” She said the film was “an empowering case-study showing how South Africa’s constitution protects its people.” She added: “It is exquisitely shot and paints a beautiful portrait of the people working to defend their communities and the land they love.”
