Mitchell's guest today is film director Jerry Toth, co-founder of the 3MAlliance, a project to build a sustainable community in the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest, about which this film was made.
The Last Rainforest of Coastal Ecuador
is a short documentary film about a grassroots sustainable development project in one of the most biodiverse and endangered ecosystems on the planet. It is the story of an evolving relationship between communities, farmers, businesses, NGOs and governmental institutions working together to solve the greatest riddle of our times: how do we sustain ourselves today without destroying the means to sustain ourselves tomorrow? The film was produced by Third Milllennium Alliance in collaboration with Conservation International and the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment.
The premier of this film is being held at the Brooklyn Ecopolis Sustainable Resource Center, 180 Smith St. 2nd Floor (corner of Warren St.), Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, this Wed., Sept. 1 at 7pm, and is free and open to the public. For more information, www.3malliance.org.
