A FIERCE GREEN FIRE
Content Project
A Fierce Green Fire is the first big-picture synthesis of environmentalism - grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years worldwide. It tells the story of the environmental movement from conservation to climate change. We focus on activism -- people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future. Our concerns are connecting causes, how the issues grew, exploring ideas and the evolution of a vision. The common theme is a struggle to save nature against the destructive impact of humanity – 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 rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization. Our thesis is that this is the time when mankind must learn to live with nature, move beyond the exploitation at the heart of industrial society and find a way based on biology, balancing human needs with the natural world that sustains us, creating a living planet. As Stewart Brand says in the film, “We’re not passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are Spaceship Earth. We are Gaia.”

COOKED
Content Project

COOKED, a feature documentary film and engagement campaign, starts with one of thedeadliest heat waves in U.S. history and evolves into a serious yet quirkyexploration into the politics of disaster. Along the way, it presents questions and "best-case" scenarios - the kind every U.S.city could (and should) ask, answer and strive for.

What if poverty were treated as if it were an "emergency"? Can we turn the nation's obsessionwith "disaster preparedness" [fast becoming a growth industry] into amovement built on the preemptive power of community resilience?
