The Alpha Males of the Environmental Movement

Documentary of the Week | Aug 25, 2017

The documentary "Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman" profiles the kind of American you don't usually associate with the environmental movement -- a Montana rancher, a Gulf Coast fisherman. Filmmakers Susan Froemke and John Hoffman explain the stories of these mavericks in their own words and through gorgeous cinematography. They speak from a hard-won wisdom.

— Thom Powers and Raphaela Neihausen
