Description: A Feature Documentary Chronicling the Environmental Movement and the Pioneers Who Gave It Name and Voice.
From halting dams in the Grand Canyon to battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal; from Greenpeace saving the whales to Chico Mendes and the rubber-tappers saving the Amazon; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization, the film tells vivid stories about people fighting, and succeeding, against enormous odds.
This important film is already rousing audiences across the country, including the Sundance Film Festival, the JFK School at Harvard, the D.C. Environmental Film Festival and the Newport Beach Film Festival, but could use your help to spread the word.

After the Sundance screening, the Hollywood Reporter wrote: “Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mark Kitchell (Berkeley in the Sixties) winningly spans the broad scope of environmental history in this comprehensive doc, connecting its origins with the variety of issues still challenging society today.”
