ABOUT NATURE'S GUARDIANS

This film explores a transformative global movement where legal tools are wielded in a way to safeguard nature. From forests and rivers to lagoons and oceans, legal actions — whether recognizing ecosystems as rights-bearing entities or enforcing environmental laws — are shaping a new path to protect and regenerate Earth’s systems for generations to come.

NATURE’S

GUARDIANS

This documentary reveals the urgent need to defend Earth as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution escalate. It showcases how legal frameworks — such as Rights of Nature — give ecosystems standing, transforming how we safeguard natural systems.

THE

DEFIANCE

Set in the Galápagos Islands, The Defiance is more than an adventure documentary. It reveals the beauty and fragility of marine life, showing how sea lions, lizards, and other creatures face mounting threats from climate disruption and illegal fishing. Set in the Galápagos, the film follows a sea lion pup and his companions face escalating threats: climate-driven scarcity, illegal fishing, and habitat disruption. As the colony struggles, a dramatic escape offers a glimpse of hope — and a sobering reminder that survival now depends on collective action.
