The New Environmentalists: From Accra to Eleuthera Island

US, 2021, 30 min

 The latest in the Mill Valley Film Group’s Emmy Award-winning series, narrated by Robert Redford and featuring inspiring portraits of six passionate and dedicated activists from Myanmar, France, Mexico, Ghana, The Bahamas, and Ecuador. They share a common goal: safeguarding the Earth’s natural resources from exploitation and pollution, while fighting for justice in their communities. These are the true environmental heroes who have placed themselves squarely in harm’s way to battle intimidating adversaries while building strong grassroots support.

The activists profiled in The New Environmentalists are recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize.

Anchored Out

The story of a vulnerable community known as the anchor-outs who live on boats anchored off the coast in Sausalito, just north of San Francisco.

Tule Elk: The Killing of a Native Species

US, 2020, 8 min
