A Fierce Green Fire
PRESENTED BY: Sno-King Meaningful Movies
A FIERCE GREEN FIRE: The Battle For a Living Planet is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement: grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change. 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… the film tells vivid stories about people fighting – and succeeding – against enormous odds.

Jump into a conversationThis is one of my all time favorite environmental films. It helps to remember how much can be accomplished when concerned people unite and protest for positive change.
