We address social, ecological & economic injustice, defend forests & people from GMO trees & amplify voices from the frontline.
Our short film documents the thousands of thriving, wild American chestnuts on the land of renowned biologist Dr. Bernd Heinrich—contradicting decades of assumptions about the species’ decline.
Based on an international delegation of the STOP GE Tree Campaign to Brazil in May of 2023, the film features interviews with members of the Quilombola communities, the Ofayé people, and members of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST), providing a comprehensive view of the fight for land sovereignty and against the ecological and social impacts of eucalyptus plantations.
Since 2003 GJEP has built campaigns and alliances around the globe to challenge corporate destruction of communities and ecosystems. We expose these issues through original reporting, photography and video to amplify the voices of impacted communities.
