The Council of Canadians is supporting the newly-launched Green Rights Multi-Media Project which promotes the right to clean water, the right to breathe, and the right to wholesome food.
Silver Donald Cameron has just had his Warrior Lawyers: From Manila to Manhattan, Attorneys for the Earth book published and will soon be launching his Green Rights: The Human Right to a Healthy World documentary.
Warrior Lawyers is available both as a paperback and e-book and can be ordered online here. A four-minute trailer for Green Rights can be seen here.
The 336-page Warrior Lawyers book includes fifteen interviews with lawyers from nine countries, plus an essay by the author. Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow says the book is “moving, terrifying, inspirational – these stories stand as a beacon of hope in our troubled world.”
The full-length Green Rights film will have its premiere screening in Wolfville tomorrow. A 45-minute version of the film, set mainly in the Maritime provinces, was broadcast by the CBC in September, 2015 under the title Defenders of the Dawn and can be streamed here.
