 From the Academy Award®-nominated director of BERKELEY IN THE SIXTIES comes a big-picture exploration of the environmental movement, A FIERCE GREEN FIRE, spanning 50 years of grassroots and global activism. 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.
“Winningly spans the broad scope of environmental history… connecting its origins with the variety of issues still challenging society today.”
– Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter
