Kitchell, Mark — The Road to Ruin Is Paved — A Fierce Green Fire
| The movie “A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle For a Living Planet”, produced and directed by our guest, Mark Kitchell tells the story of environmental activism – people trying to save the planet, their homes, the future. In a chronicle of five decades of grassroots and global environmental movements, Kitchell explores how we arrived at the present world-wide crisis. While exploring broader ideas and deeper meanings, A Fierce Green Fire brings together eras in the past 50 years from conservation to climate change.
The Mendocino Film Festival presents the world premier of A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle For a Living Planet, November 9, 10, and 11, in Ft. Bragg, Mendocino and Pt. Arena. You may learn more at mendocinofilmfestival.org and afiercegreenfire.com Mark Kitchell and I visited by phone from his office in San Francisco, California, on October 26, 2012.
