Welcome to the Earthx2020! The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.

Welcome to the Earthx2020, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. A season of global impact to heal our planet, where we come together to shine a light on the critical issues facing all of us. This year, our EarthX events are a virtual experience instead of a live event due to COVID-19 impacting our ability to gather in large groups. Undaunted, EarthX brings together a congregation of leading voices in environmental conservation.

The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day demonstrates the ability for change: The Clean Air Act to The Clean Water Act and much, much more. Yet, there is still more to do.

Our live event for the last ten years has grown significantly. EarthX, last year, hosted over 177,000 attendees, over 700 exhibitors, 500 speakers, ten conferences, film festival and interactive experiences to heighten your “senses” to the wonderful planet we inhabit.

This year we “pivoted” to bring EarthX to millions across the globe. Five days of livestreaming presentations, conferences, our signature film festival and even virtual and augmented reality. A significant partnership was forged this year: National Geographic Society, known for their legacy, reputation and Explorers who will join us during our virtual program.

During the virtual event, you will hear from environmental luminaries from across the globe: Robert Redford, Paul Watson, National Geographic Explorers Enric Sala and Sylvia Earle, Senators Steve Daines and Cory Gardner who co-sponsored the Great American Outdoors Act, Representative Bruce Westerman, Jeff Corwin, Karenna Gore, Xiye Bastida, Jane Fonda and many more.

Another way to engage with the EarthX community is to join the EarthxLeague. This amazing platform connects you with a knowledge base of information and stories about how people and organizations are working to create a sustainable world for all of us. You will meet others who share your passion and focus on environmental education and awareness.

Join us for the 10 days of virtual inspiration, learning, and sharing ways with each other to protect the planet. Your involvement matters more than ever. If you miss the livestreaming events in April, you can still view the information at EarthX website.

As we all enjoy this celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, EarthX continues to position itself as the center in a more global way with all communities: corporations, citizens, educators, investors, government and nonprofits.

Together we make a difference!

Resilient cities have the ability to absorb, recover, and prepare for future shocks to their economic, environmental, social, and institutional services. Resilient cities promote sustainable development, wellbeing, and inclusive growth.

Cities face a growing range of challenges in the 21st Century. The effects of climate change, growing migrant populations, inadequate infrastructure, pandemics, cyberattacks, and more. Resilience is how cities adapt and transform in the face of these challenges, and prepare for both the expected and the unexpected like the coronavirus pandemic.

Cambodia/Malaysia/USA, 2020, 90 min. Overfishing of the ocean’s waters is happening all over the world, having a horrendous impact not only on marine ecosystems but also on the local fishermen who depend on these habitats for their livelihood. That is undoubtedly the case in Cambodia, where illegal fishing is devastating this once robust seascape. Current Sea explores the situation in a tense and riveting way by following a couple of deeply committed expats who are determined to end this scourge and bring justice to the perpetrators, but of course, put themselves into great peril along the way.

South Central Los Angeles is known for a lot of things, but being home to an urban cowboy culture is not top of the list. Fire on the Hill tells the story of this littleknown community, and how a mysterious fire in 2012 nearly wrecked it all, but ultimately, this film celebrates how resilience is the key to navigating life.

The famed biologist E.O. Wilson has worked to start a campaign called Half Earth, which posits that we need to put aside fifty percent of the planet’s surface and dedicate it to animal species. It is a big, bold idea, and the National Geographic Society is making its own ambitious efforts on this with its own Campaign for Nature, which aims to protect thirty percent of the planet by 2030. Last Wild Places is a film that looks at different areas around the world where this effort is already underway, and it has to be given how quickly 2030 is coming up.

MOSSVILLE: WHEN GREAT TREES FALL USA, 2019, 75 min.

Mossville is haunting, disturbing and essential viewing. It tells the story of Mossville, a small town in Louisiana where a giant chemical plant has landed, displacing its long-time African-American residents. One of them says in a home video: “I am human just like you. I breathe. I think. Just like you.” She died from cancer not long after, and her son Stacey says, “That is why we fight.” In the long-time, uphill battle for environmental justice, “disposable people,” as another character says, are left behind. It is tragic and heartbreaking, but there are people - and you meet them in this forcible documentary - who are not going to go without a fight, which is deeply inspiring. “I want them to know that we existed.”

PUBLIC TRUST

USA, 2020, 96 min.

Our public lands are a complicated mix of good intentions and shady deals, which this documentary does its damndest to explain. What we learn is that very little is straightforward in this murky world as various entities, including politicians, ranchers, extractionists, and outdoor enthusiasts, all jockey for some part of what rightly belongs to every American. Narrated by Robert Redford and executive produced by Yvon Chouinard with Patagonia, Public Trust weaves together an assortment of stories, connected by the indefatigable journalist, Hal Herring. Working tirelessly to shine a light on the chicanery involved with public lands, Herring also shows us why they matter - or should matter so much to each of us.

RACING EXTINCTION

USA, 2015, 94 min., Color

Louie Psihoyos’s The Cove exposed viewers to the brutal practice of dolphin slaughter. The Academy Award-winning director now bears witness to a global problem: mankind’s role in precipitating mass extinction, potentially resulting in the loss of half of the world’s species. Psihoyos joins forces with activists, scientists, nature photographers, and cutting-edge inventors to draw attention to the dangers we face. While covert operations reveal the horrific black-market trade in endangered aquatic species, the film’s broader lens uncovers the even more disastrous consequences of human activity, chiefly the release of ocean-killing methane and carbon from energy consumption. With stakes as high as the survival of life on the planet, Racing Extinction is an urgent, affirming call to action to stem the tide before it’s too late.

THE GREAT GREEN WALL

USA, 2019, 91 min.

This documentary pulses with energy and purpose as it follows the Malian singer, Inna Modja, on her ambitious and inspiring journey across Africa. Her mission is to help build a green wall of trees that will start to offset the desertification happening in the Sahel region that is particularly feeling the effects of climate change. It is not an easy journey. There are multiple challenges from skeptics and other oppositions, but Modja is formidable and will not be defeated. Ultimately, this will be an 8000-kilometer edifice, the largest natural structure in the world, three times the size of the Great Barrier Reef. It is well on its way, so far, having built fifteen percent, proving determination can conquer the seemingly impossible.

USA, 2019, 89 min.

In the 1967 film, The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman’s character, Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate, is told by a family friend, that the future is plastics. How right he was. And how unfortunate that he was so right because single-use plastics have such a pernicious effect on our lives, it is often hard to comprehend. The Story of Plastic works to help us understand the scope and scale of this global scourge. Produced with the same folks who made the widely-seen Story of Stuff, this documentary takes us around the globe to see how plastic has taken over our world, having a deleterious impact that is far beyond anything imagined by screenwriters more than 50 years ago.

Playing in front of The Story of Plastic Spain, 2019, 14 min.

This film feels funnily familiar because it takes some of the famous tropes of spaghetti westerns from a time gone by, and gives it a clever twist. What is significantly less clever is the real-world message that this doc conveys. It appears the iconic sets for these famous films have now been trashed with, well, trash. Luckily, there is an effort afoot to right this wrong and clean up the mess left behind.

CHASING GHOSTS

Science In Action Shorts USA, 2019, 16 min.

This all-too-true film is the stuff of myth and legend where obsessive people have strange yet intriguing quests that take them to alluring landscapes. The people in this story are scientists and photographers. The setting is a murky, muddy, alligator, and snake-filled swamp in a remote part of Florida, a character in itself.

Nature knows no borders we learn in this short documentary spanning all three countries in North America. We begin down south, where we meet the Ferryman of the title and other compelling local characters with a smart take on what is actually happening in this controversial landscape.

GOLDEN

Science in Action Shorts USA, 2019, 8 min.

Eagles are an iconic raptor in this country but not an easy species to study. It requires long travels to remote landscapes and feats of derring-do, like rappelling into eagle’s nests. Perhaps, in part, it is those extra degrees of difficulty that drew Caitlin Davis to this challenging work, but it is, in fact, something that she actually dreamed about as a child. Once you meet Caitlin Davis in Golden, it will all make sense.

LOST WORLD

National interests can end up creating some unusual unforeseen situations. Lost World tells a surprising story of how the small but financially ambitious city-state of Singapore dredges sand from under Cambodia’s mangrove forests to create an artificial “natural” landscape. Seen through the eyes of a Cambodian woman who knows how important mangroves are to ecosystems, we witness how much she and her country is losing in this unfortunate exchange.

Allies in the environmental movement can be surprising sometimes. Cue Ethiopia, where the Orthodox Churches have stepped up in the effort to save the country’s forests. The Churches are often surrounded by pockets of primary forest, their faithful making it their duty to help preserve these native landscapes struggling and clear cut from farming and grazing. It is not easy work but perhaps made easier because the church people believe they are doing God’s work.
