Beyond the Classroom presents "A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet"
Description:
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 50 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 rubber tappers 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!
