We are so excited to announce that our film, @NewtokFilm is premiering at @DocNYCfest Nov 13 & 16. @mikirby and I poured our souls into this project for six years, it would mean the world to us if you watched it: https://t.co/fTFRDLwLMu
Thank you @Interior and the Biden Administration for the support and aid allocated to the community of Newtok. Today's decision to grant 25 million dollars to relocate inland is a step towards climate justice and creating dignity for those on the frontline of climate change.
Newtok will be receiving $25 million from the US government to help finish their relocation efforts. “It gave me goose bumps when I found out we got that money,” said Joseph John Jr., a council member in Newtok. https://t.co/14vvBkkuxQ
Our @photoville exhibit of #BOP2022 winners is up on Fulton near @bbpnyc! Show formally opens tomorrow afternoon, so come on by and say hi to Regional chair @photocarey and @NPPAExec. Thanks @ajchavar and the BOP committee for their hard work to make this happen!📸: Suchan Vodoor
These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
A young man shot his mother, then stormed into an elementary school and shot 27 students and teachers.
Because nothing was done then, ten years later, another young man shot his grandmother then stormed into an elementary school and shot 14 students.
This is America.
One of the best documentaries I've watched in a while. Superb filmmaking from @mikirby & @AndrewBurton 👏
Follows Yup’ik residents over 4 years as they try to relocate their entire village...some of the first US climate refugees. Must watch on YT

Caught @AndrewBurton & @mikirby’s brilliant documentary ‘Newtok’ tonight in Seattle—y’all must see this film about climate change and how it’s affecting some of America’s first climate refugees in Alaska. https://t.co/CO5GmD0rv1
NEWTOK
As the effects of climate change become ever more apparent throughout the world, the Yup'ik people and their lands on the western outskirts of Alaska face a much more imminent threat. @AndrewBurton@mikirby https://t.co/9L2uc3jP4D
