This is the story of the Moken, an indigenous community of sea nomads living off the coast of Burma and Thailand.

They have lived in their traditional boats for over 3500 years, so their maritime knowledge is unique.

But, they are citizenless and, like all indigenous people, they’re fighting for survival.

We aim to engage people to contribute to the survival and future of the Mokens.

To enable them to create a sustainable future and empower all of us to make a difference.

Project Moken has a documentary film at its heart, but aims to engage and involve the world through a unique online campaign

This is the idea

The Moken people have used a

special tree in their boat-building

traditions for thousands of years.

Until now.

The Burmese and Thai governments

refuses to let the Moken people

continue this tradition resulting in the

deprivation of their culture.

We want to create a digital

tree, growing with the names of

thousands of people in support of the

Moken people.

If called for, the tree will later be used

as a petition towards the Burmese

and Thai governments.

Help us build the biggest tree in the

world in order to sacrifice one that

can save an entire culture.

WHEN YOU ENTER

THE WEBSITE YOU

SEE THE TREE AT IT S

CURRENT STATE.

THE TREE WILL GROW

AS MORE PEOPLE

JOINS THE PETITION.

YOU CONNECT VIA

FACEBOOK FOR

MAXIMUM VIRAL

EFFECT

BUT YOU CAN ALSO

LOG IN WITHOUT

FACEBOOK.

THE STEM OF THE

TREE CONCISTS OF

FIVE MAIN

BRANCHES.

THESE BRANCHES

ARE STARTED BY

AMBASSADORS FOR

THE CAMPAIGN IN

ORDER TO ATTRACT

PEOPLE.

WHEN YOU GET AN

INVITATION FROM A

FRIEND TO JOIN YOU

ARE ENCOURAGED

TO MAKE THE THREE

GROW FURTHER BY

INVITING THREE OF

YOUR FRIENDS.

WHEN YOU JOIN THE

BRANCH IS

VISUALIZED WITH

YOUR NAME.

THE TREE GROWS

WITH THOUSANDS

OF NAMES

AND A POWERFULL

AND ENGAGING

MESSAGE UNFOLDS.

IN THE END THE

PETITION CAN BE

PRINTED AND USED A

PROTEST IF NEEDED,

BUT ALSO AS A

STRONG PROMOTION

FOR THE UPCOMING

DOCUMENTARY.

You have received this film because

we would like you to be one of the

first connectors to build a branch on

the tree when it is ready for launch.
