Torres Strait artist and activist Alick Tipoti and His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco unite to help protect the Ocean. This documentary is about two communities on opposite sides of the planet, Monaco and Badu Island, which are concerned by climate change and the many threats to the future of the marine environment.
We had the pleasure of creating the animations for this wonderful project. |
Badu History
We get to know a little bit more about the history of the Torres Strait Island.
Torres Strait Islanders
We were over the moon when animating some of the works by Torres Strait artist Alick Tipoti! His artwork shows meaningful symbols about the land, sea and sky of Badu Island using traditional Melanesian patterns.
Grace Kelly in Badu and Thursday Island
When Prince Albert II of Monaco visits Badu, an islander tells him about the relationship women in the island had with his mom Princess Grace Kelly.
Creating Thursday Island
Prince Albert I of Monaco
We learn more about Prince Albert I of Monaco, the greatgreat grandfather of Prince Albert II. Thanks to Prince Albert I's passion for oceanography, there were many scientific achievements and inventions in Monaco.
