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

Twelve-year-old Rakesh 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, Rakesh realizes he can’t wait for the storm to pass. It is up to him to save the rain dancer and become the Ruler of the Full Moon.
