The Age of Stupid Is the Future of Film

One of the most important films of the year (perhaps decade) is about to be released. Take note. While this film is about the collective future of humanity, this film is equally or more important because it represents the future of film, film culture and film distribution and marketing…

WATER
Produced by Saida Medvedeva

Water is a documentary film about how human intentions not only change the structure of water, but how our thoughts can alter our environment.

Three million copies of Water were sold in Europe in the first year of its release.

The film stars Masaru Emoto (”What the Bleep Do We Know”) and several other scientists from around the world who have, in the last year, discovered new findings about how water truly has memory.

The documentary Meat the Truth is the first major project undertaken by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation. Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary, presented by Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which forms an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most important causes of climate change, namely: intensive livestock production. Meat the Truth has drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together.

Meat the Truth is not just a critical analysis of the relationship between the greenhouse gas effect and the intensive livestock farming industry. It also offers practical solutions, which can help to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Consumers are confronted with thought-provoking, personal dilemmas: would they be better off giving up their cars, or their steak?

The film demonstrates that even if everyone in the Netherlands was to abstain from eating meat for just one day a week, this would make a huge difference to Dutch climate policy. All of the Dutch government’s climate goals for private households would be achieved in one fell swoop.

Naturally, these solutions have not simply been pulled out of thin air. They are the result of the expert calculations, which have been made by scientists at the Institute for Environmental Studies, Free University Amsterdam. This table presents their calculations for the carbon savings that could be achieved as a result of the reduction in meat consumption.

Last year she made room in her busy schedule for our school. She has prepared an extensive program about Global warming. Our junior students from grades 4 to 6 were introduced to the latest climate change information.

The students were advised on how to contribute on an individual basis to our community. Nikole also demonstrated alternative solutions to our daily living by reducing, reusing and recycling. Our students were inspired from her well prepared presentation.

The event gave an additional boost to our ECO club students. More then twenty students made a pledge to help our environment. Every week they meet at lunch time with their supervising teacher Mrs. C. Steel – Lang and come up with new initiatives for our school.

Nikole has a great ability to inspire and motivate many people for a better future. We are very thankful for her selfless efforts to impact positive change in our leaders for tomorrow.
