Description

The right to breathe. The right to clean water. The right to wholesome food. In more than 180 nations, citizens are legally entitled to these essential elements of life - but not in Canada or the United States. The Green Rights multimedia project believes in the human right to a healthy environment, and Mother Nature's right to be respected and protected. Green Rights reports on the legal battles going on in nations around the world: The Philippines, Argentina, The Netherlands, and Ecuador. This film is written and narrated by Silver Donald Cameron, a Canadian journalist, playwright, author, and university teacher whose writing focuses on social justice, nature, and the environment.
