For centuries, Indigenous communities have lived in balance with nature while resisting outside exploitation. Wild Coast Warriors tells the powerful true story of the amaMpondo people of South Africa’s Wild Coast — and their extraordinary David vs Goliath legal battle against oil giant Shell.

When Shell threatened to begin oil and gas exploration along this fragile coastline, the amaMpondo stood up to defend their ocean, culture, and ancestral ties to the sea. Through courageous resistance, deep spiritual connection to land and water, and a landmark court case, they successfully halted seismic blasting and secured ongoing protection for their coast.

This inspiring documentary celebrates Indigenous leadership, community resilience, and the defence of marine life — including whale populations and the world-famous sardine run — against the devastating impacts of fossil fuel extraction.

✨ A story of resistance, culture, spirituality, and hope.

✨ Essential viewing for anyone concerned about climate justice, Indigenous rights, and ocean protection.

Join us for this moving and empowering film screening.
