Film Forum · SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ETAT SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT Returns Friday, January 3 at Film Forum

Check out the incredible doco Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat if you can. At a time when western powers are again banding together to crush anti-colonial resistance the film feels so urgent. And the music is 🔥🔥

Hi everyone! I've really been liking this new place, so thought I'd do an intro. My name is Mike and I do ecology and epidemiology stuff. Our fieldwork season is about to go into high gear, so I'll post some photos from the glorious wetlands and bushlands around Sydney as we go.

I spend time with Indigenous migrants: Adivasi domestic workers in Mumbai, Pacific Islander seasonal workers in Sydney, and Central American workers in NYC. Migrant workers are fighters, knowledge-holders, and community leaders who are providing stewardship in times of crisis.

I'm grateful to tell the story of my great-grandfather, a lascar who drowned on the job, and my family migration to Mumbai, Sydney & NYC, alongside stories of today's migrant workers in those cities struggling to stay afloat amid precarity & climate disasters.
