Dawn Finds Us
Arka Kinari is a group that sails around the world hosting music performances and workshops to educate people about climate change. In this audio piece, three of the crew members recount the heartening day and harrowing night that ensued after docking at the coastal village of Lamakera in Indonesia.
It’s a day that dawned in startling natural beauty, a morning of life aboard a working sailing ship, an afternoon treated to a heroes’ welcome, before devolving into an evening lynch mob capped by a dangerous midnight escape.
