A FIERCE GREEN FIRE
The Battle for a Living Planet
A Feature Documentary Chronicling the Environmental Movement and the Pioneers Who Gave It Name and Voice

A Fierce Green Fire tells stirring stories of environmental activism — people trying to save the planet, their homes, their lives, the future. It chronicles grassroots and global movements building over five decades; connects all the causes to create a big-picture synthesis; explores how we got here and where we’re going.  

A Fierce Green Fire promises to be one of the defining films about the environmental movement, prominent, widespread and enduring as such.  It has enormous power to educate and will inspire and recruit new generations to the cause.  It will energize and fuel activists and help give identity and purpose to the movement.

Evening Schedule
7:00pm - Film and post-film discussion featuring Mark Kitchell, Producer/Director and special guests. Moderated by Tracy Gary.

A FIERCE GREEN FIRE Synopsis

A Fierce Green Fire is the first film to take on environmentalism as a whole, to bring together all the parts and eras, from conservation to climate change. It explores how the issues built into an international cause, the largest movement the world has ever seen, and perhaps the most crucial in terms of what is at stake. It’s not easy being green – every battle is against the odds.

The film features successes including halting dams in the Grand Canyon, rescuing the people of Love Canal, and saving whales and the greatest rainforest on earth. However, it also looks at how the struggles continue and the issues grow in scope until it’s an open question whether they’re too big for the environmental movement to deal with. The film’s approach differs from the usual environmental documentary in two ways.

First is the film’s focus on activism. It reveals the issues by showing how people acted on them; it’s a more engaging approach, emphasizing drama and passion. Second is the film’s emphasis on the big picture — connections, core ideas, what it all means.  This film is designed to reach and teach a huge and hungry audience, give them an understanding of environmentalism like nothing before.
