Continent Poster – S. American

Our second poster, with episodes from Seasons 1 & 2, presents stories from the South American Continent. As a writer, I was humbled to partner with Martin Nuza as we wrote the dynamic stories for South America.

Episode 1.4, Andrea & the Carpayo Campaign from Peru, by Martin Nuza, focuses on ocean pollution. This is a transformative story about an Earth Hero, Andrea, who sees an environmental challenge in her town, and she rises up to meet it head-on. She has a plan to change the world and help heal the Earth.

Episode 2.4, Rakesh & the Rain Dancer from Suriname, addresses the use of illegal gillnets. It was a wonderful experience writing this story and consulting with our amazing sister, Monique Wijngaarde, who has a direct connection to Suriname. Rakesh has a dream to be a skin diver, but he has no idea where his inexperience will take him or how he will answer the call to free the dolphins.

What a magnificent journey we walk with a dynamic animation and production team! Moon Drake is blessed to have some of the best people in the industry to support its clearly defined mission – to help the world become a better place.

Keep watching, there’s more to come!

WE ARE OVER THE MOON!

Season 2, Episode 4 – Rakesh & the Rain Dancer by Jane L. Fitzpatrick

Episode 2.4

Rakesh, a 12-year-old boy, believes he can achieve his dream to be a scuba diver. His grandmother agrees to pay for his lessons and promises him a trip to Venezuela to scuba dive since Suriname’s waters are polluted and dangerous. At his birthday celebration, Rakesh encounters a “friendly” dolphin until he realizes the creature is actually in distress… So, with his scuba gear, inexperienced Rakesh, his irresponsible brother, Soraido, and his friend, Petronella, embark on a harrowing rescue mission through stormy winds, choppy waves and the dead of night to save endangered dolphins trapped in a gillnet.
