Monumental: David Brower's Fight For Wild America

Sierra Club Productions is a proud sponsor and outreach partner.

THE FILM
Directed by up-and-coming independent film-maker Kelly Duane, Monumental tells the dramatic life story of David Brower, the late visionary and activist who is considered the grandfather of the modern environmental movement.

The first Executive Director of the Sierra Club, founder of Friends of the Earth and The Earth Island Institute, Brower's bold leadership saved the Grand Canyon and countless other national treasures from environmental destruction. He is a consummate example of the power of the individual - and the power of activism.

With contemporary music and stylistic editing, Monumental weaves together Brower's very own exquisite 16-mm archival wilderness footage, photographic images from well-recognized artists, and interviews with contemporaries. Monumental tells the story of a true American legend, an artist, a publisher, a filmmaker and a zealous crusader for the cause of environmentalism.

The film combines the 1950s and '60s aesthetic of archival footage with a modern look and recent interviews for a visually compelling experience that anyone can enjoy, whether young or old, activism neophyte or diehard environmentalist.
