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.”

Always in Season
Content Project
With film and virtual reality, Always in Season takes an integrated transmedia approach to telling the story of the lingering impact of almost a century of lynching African Americans until the mid-1960s.  Our documentary feature highlights the emotional journeys of relatives of the victims, perpetrators and spectators who are turning harm to hope with grassroots efforts towards reconciliation and restorative justice, and our virtual world locale, Always in Season Island, extends the film’s message by giving audiences an experiential look at the social climate that made this form of racial terrorism possible.
