Fight the Good Fight
Calling all EcoLocalizers: if you’ve been working to solve an environmental problem in your part of the U.S., The Sundance Channel wants to hear from you.
Starting on Earth Day (Tuesday, April 22), Sundance will present a new Web series called The Good Fight. Hosted by Indian-born activist, author and TV producer Simran Sethi, the online series is aimed at building awareness of the environmental justice movement and at highlighting local heroes in various environmental causes.
Sethi and her team plan to visit the Los Angeles area soon to find people and groups to feature on The Good Fight. Don’t worry if you’re not close to L.A., though: eco-activists elsewhere can get the word out on their actions by posting their pet cause on Sundance’s Eco-Mmunity map of green goings-on around the U.S.
Early episodes of The Good Fight will feature interviews with Robert Bullard, director of Clark Atlanta University’s Environmental Justice Resource Center; Omar Freilla, who established The Green Worker Cooperative in the Bronx; and Clayton Thomas Muller, the oil campaign organizer for the Indigenous Environmental Network. Sethi will also profile the tornado-devastated town of Greensburg, Kansas, which residents are working to rebuild as a green community.
