FOR EARTH'S SAKE:

Subtitle: The Life and Times of David Brower

58 minutes/Grades 9-Adult

Produced by John de Graaf

A stirring portrait of America's leading environmentalist,
David Brower, who was instrumental in establishing some of
America's most spectacular national parks, while heading the
Sierra Club, establishing and directing Friends of the Earth, and
now Earth Island Institute. Twice nominated for the Nobel Peace
Prize, described as "a visionary ahead of his time," David Brower
successfully fought to keep dams out of the Grand Canyon, led
victorious campaigns to save Washington's North Cascades
Wilderness and the California redwoods, and spearheaded fights
against nuclear power and the Alaska pipeline.

This inspiring profile is filled with footage of some of the
most spectacular wilderness areas in the United States, and with
excerpts from Brower's home movies and the pioneering
environmental documentaries which he made for the Sierra Club.
David Brower is a prime example of the difference a dedicated
individual can make in the American political landscape.
