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.”

Boys Become Men
Content Project
Boys Become Men is a two-hour documentary focusing on the life-changing initiation and mentorship of urban teenage boys into mature masculinity. The film will demonstrate how the initiation process allows young men to overcome their own inner demons, and, by filling them with confidence in their own unique gifts, enables them to meet the challenges of life with integrity, passion, and a sense of purpose, rather than entering adulthood in suspended adolescence, becoming abusive, turning to drugs, alcoholism, workaholism, or consumerism.
