Following interviews with Noam Chomsky and Vandana Shiva and Silo‘s speech in Punta de Vacas on May 4, 2004, we continue our series of short inspirational videos with the “message of hope for activists” launched by Desmond Tutu in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2012.

Archbishop, Nobel Peace Prize winner and appointed by Nelson Mandela as Chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Desmond Tutu urges activists not to be discouraged by words at once profound and light.

We thank Moran Barir, filmmaker and activist, for permission to use the original video of Tutu’s short speech.
