Our film-lover's guide to taking environmental action in the first 100 days of the new White House administration culminates with a series of films screening at Green Film Fest 2017.
With threats to roll-back environmental regulations and international climate programs, we’ve been taking strength from the films and filmmakers in our SF Green Film Festival archive. Here are the film suggestions so far.
Now we're looking to new documentaries for ideas and inspiration.
