Films

This project is based on Chris Benjamin's award winning book, "Eco-Innovators: Sustainability in Atlantic Canada".  Kevin Moynihan, a documentray filmmaker, plans to create three 8-minute documentaries in High Definition that tell the stories of three of the eco-innovators featured in the book. 

"Off the Hook", the video based on one of the projects in the book, (and which was added to David Suzuki's Facebook wall), "Green Island Getaway", and "Local Source," are samples of what the documentaries will be like - lots of live action, on-site footage and interviews with the proponents as well as people who benefit.  These short videos will be available on Youtube and can be used as curriculum units in a social studies program or as a personal inspiration to encourage others to try to make a difference on this fragile planet.
