Description
Why Is a New Era of Cultural, Musical, and Indigenous Storytelling Essential Now?
Join us for the first-ever public unveiling of Love the Earth — a visionary new children’s and family animated series that weaves together Indigenous cultures, music, and urgent messages from our planet’s most pristine ecosystems and the voices who represent them.
Set to launch globally on YouTube, in collaboration with the United Nations Human Rights Office, Love the Earth transports young audiences to breathtaking real-world locations where Indigenous wisdom, endangered species, and cultural heritage come to life through rich storytelling, soulful soundtracks, and cinematic animation.
This panel marks the beginning of a new era: where children not only watch stories, but feel them — and grow up empowered to care for the Earth and each other.
Speakers include some of today’s most exciting cultural voices — from award-winning filmmakers and Indigenous leaders to international musicians and United Nations collaborators. Witness a remarkable moment at SXSW London: the launch of Love the Earth, the extra special animation project coming to screens worldwide!
