If you agree that indigenous communities can and should speak for themselves, here’s a concrete way you can contribute — and a story that should give you a lot of hope.
I am in Panama now (March-April 2026) and just came back from Darién, it’s eastern region known for its biodiversity.
Together with Ulu Films, an Indigenous film collective, we conducted two-day workshops on storytelling, video production, and social media, as requested by the Wounaan Indigenous community there.
How does that relate to you?
If you’ve reached this page, and if you know and trust my work, I have a very concrete invitation for you: to stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities as they acquire the tools and training needed to tell their own stories.
Why is this capacity important?
As the Wounaan community members told us themselves, it’s to be able to preserve the knowledge that’s disappearing, to share their history and culture, to produce community journalism, and to use the beautiful crafts that so many people make here as another form of livelihoods.
What Ulu Films does – together with other Indigenous-led partners in Panama – is work directly with Indigenous communities by providing workshops, producing videos, and collaborating with other Indigenous media producers to tell stories.
That’s why financially contributing to their work is a concrete way to amplify indigenous voices.
Hence, my invitation to you.
(I also provide more direct ways to transfer your donations to me, so please don’t click on the buttons right away)
I invite you to contribute any amount, which I will then pass to the team, while I am still in Panama and can meet with Ulu’s team (April 14).
The default amount is only a suggested amount. Any contribution you make will support Ulu’s work with Indigenous communities through workshops and short documentary production.
If you have a European bank account or can easily transfer money to such accounts, I invite you to make a transfer directly to my bank by April 20, 2026. Please leave Ulu as a reference.

Needless to say, I will report back on how much we are able to collect together by mid-April ✊🏽
Thank you in advance for contributing or spreading the word – it all matters!

- What, According to My Government, Other Countries Can Learn from Israel
This is the most straightforward way I can put it: just like there are countries in history known for their collaboration with the Nazi regime, my country, Lithuania, has inscribed itself as one of the staunchest supporters of Israel, no matter the scale, depravity, or geography of its crimes. See if my rage resonates with yours. - Invest in Decolonising Narratives
Something incredible is happening in Panama – in that how anticolonial it is. I’m inviting you to support it. - What Israel’s Destruction of Lebanon Is Showing Us Painfully Clearly
When Israel shows only contempt for what its greater ally wants, we need no more proof is there’s anything above Israel’s colonial expansionist ambitions. - On Iran, (Ir)rationality, and Those Who Didn’t See Any Destabilisation of The Region in Israel’s Genocide
Remember when Iran used to be called an irrational, unpredictable actor? Well, I invite you to notice any changes when it comes to irrationality, constructed narratives, and how war propaganda looks these days. - On One of The Gravest Crimes against Humanity That Not Every Country Chose to Condemn at The UN
The UN just voted to describe the transatlantic slave trade as ‘the gravest crime against humanity’. Yet not every country, according to its vote, agrees. My commentary is on what the abstentions show. - Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think
The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters. - Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop. - There Are Those Who Celebrate Women’s Day and Cheer for the Bombing of Schools
Using the “liberation of women” is not new when it comes to justifying the unjustifiable. Notice how it is used again in Iran, including by those who are known to intentionally harm women and children. - MY Country Stands with Fascist Regimes. What about Yours?
Let’s normalise talking about the secondary rage and grief you might be feeling seeing your government appease, bow down to, and support fascist regimes
