Filmography

It's an honor to be receiving a Telly. It speaks to how powerful and hopeful The Rights Of Nature is and can be. Giving Mother Nature her own inalienable rights will bring balance and a legal framework to fight for what we all hold sacred and revere in one sense or another. Who doesn't love a tree, meadow, forest, lake, ocean or river? Who doesn't stand in wonder and awe of their beauty and power to heal and give life? Why wouldn't we protect these things the same way we do the people that need them, draw life from them and simply enjoy them?

This is a testimony to the Rights of Nature. If we want to build a new world we have to start with acknowledging Nature's rights and putting kin at the center of decision-making. I'm honored to receive this award as one small step of an international movement working to make that vision possible.

As a storyteller, I'm continuously inspired by the Rights of Nature movement. It offers a game-changing shift in power away from private interests and into communities, and it decrees Nature as a living entity, not as mere "property." It seems that, without these fundamental changes in our social systems, the climate movement will struggle to succeed.

Scenes from INVISIBLE HAND live with me. It captures a spirit and resilience we all need.

Man has lost his way but this film gives us hope. Communities on the front lines are winning, and the blueprint they are providing the rest of us is well documented in this film. Pay close attention. Don’t give up. Keep fighting. We cannot become a nation where communities that seek to protect themselves and their water are labeled unconstitutional. The small communities are leading those of us who have lost our way, back into our place in the ecosystem. May this film unite all defenders and inspire new ones. The time is now.

A deeply sober, sane, and hopeful film. Very beautiful! Thank you!

Best documentary I have seen in a long time. Invisible Hand tells the story of 3 different communities and the residents of those communities standing up to challenge the current environmental laws and system to protect their health as well as nature’s. The film exposes how the people have been duped into believing that we have the “best environmental ” laws in the world, when in reality those laws are really legalizing pollution by issuing permits that protect the very industries doing the harm. These communities are challenging the status quo by proposing, passing and fighting for Rights of Nature laws that challenge our current system that protects capitalism at the expense of our communities and nature and sacrifices our childrens’ futures. Public Herald continues their reputation of exposing the lies, so the people can see the problems clearly and then act accordingly.

This is the most satisfying Documentary Films I came by in a while, It’s worth the wait. A Beautiful Work. Inspiring!

What a fantastic film–excellent at explaining complicated issues and connecting the dots to clarify how activism and legal actions are required in conjunction to stop big business and corporate government. My question is whether you envision the potential for Rights of Nature legislation to be proactively implemented at the local level before these types of challenges emerge? Can we create laws that deter corporations from ever looking at these areas for exploitation?
