Spanning 50 years of grassroots and global activism, this Sundance documentary brings to light the vital stories of the environmental movement where people fought - and succeeded - against enormous odds. From halting dams in the Grand Canyon to fighting toxic waste at Love Canal; from Greenpeace to Chico Mendes; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization, A Fierce Green Fire is "nothing less than the history of environmentalism itself" (Los Angeles Times).

“Truly riveting. A sweeping history of the environmental movement, 'A Fierce Green Fire' is both a cautionary tale and a triumphant one.” - The Washington Post

“Powerful & stirring! A worthy reminder of how much has been done to help heal our planet's ecological woes as well as how much remains to be achieved.” - Los Angeles Times

“Melding history, science, and up-to-the-minute urgency, 'A Fierce Green Fire' is a clarion call that's passionate and provocative.” - Boston Globe

“You won't be able to go back to business-as-usual after seeing this hell-raising documentary.” - AlterNet

“Rousing, Inspiring! The most ambitious environmental documentary since 'An Inconvenient Truth' tries to make the case that we just might win. Noggin-shaking historical truths...jabs you in the heart.” - Outside Magazine's "Best of Sundance"

WITH LOVE... FROM THE AGE OF REASON
89 minutes, fiction, color, English & French w/English subtitles, 2010

A filmby Yann Samuell

Starring Sophie Marceau (Braveheart, The World is Not Enough)

"Dear Me. Today I am seven years old and I'm writing you this letter to help you remember the promises I made when I was 7, and also to remind you of what I want to become..."

Thus begins the letter that Margaret receives on her 40th birthday. An executive at a multinational construction firm, Margaret's regimented lifestyle revolves around meetings, business dinners and pre-scheduled sex with her partner. But when a retired notary delivers a stack of letters written by Margaret when she was seven years old, the successful professional begins to rethink her existence. The letters - an exuberant assortment of photographs, vibrant collages, and playful messages - evoke long-forgotten memories and childhood dreams of adventure and true love.

Moved by the words of herself at 7, Margaret returns to her childhood village to rediscover the fanciful dreams and playful idealism of her youth...to somehow re-connect with the happy-go-lucky, carefree child she was.

“A ridiculously charming and likable film! A stylish, fast-paced, magical tale of girlhood dreams and being true to yourself. And it doesn't even star Audrey Tautou. This time the captivating beauty is Sophie Marceau.” - The Cleveland Plain Dealer

“A clever, intriguing premise...undeniably heartwrenching... with 'Amelie'-style visuals.” - Variety

A sweet, nostalgia-inspiring romantic fantasy. Anyone who has fallen out of touch with - or recently rediscovered - their childhood self will love this film.” - Ohio Authority Magazine

“Appealing...made with much visual flair.” - Time Out Hong Kong
