Sayang Kalimantan by Wally Tham
In 2015, 3 months of forest fires in Indonesia put more carbon into the atmosphere than Europe’s annual carbon footprint combined. Wally and his friends made an aid trip to Kalimantan, distributing air safety masks and giving workshops on how to be safe from what was essentially an ecological disaster. This documentary shows what happened and how Wally and his team spent the next 2 years designing and building Indonesia’s first functioning haze shelter with the young people of Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Haze It’s Complicated created by Earth Observatory of Singapore led by Isaac Kerlow.
This documentary feature presents the scientific facts behind the issue of peat haze as well as points of view and opinions from local and regional stakeholders. The burning of the peat forests throughout tropical Southeast Asia creates pollution, and this posed significant challenges to human health and the economies of the region during the second decade of the 21st century. The problem of peat haze pollution has been somewhat mitigated in recent years but in spite of this positive progress a few of the critical issues are yet to be solved. A complete solution to this complex issue will not be a simple one.

Following the screening, there will be panel discussion with Wally Tham the filmmaker of Sayang Kalimantan.
