On September 4 at 6:00 p.m., Mark Ruffalo's ‘Invisible Hand’ film will premiere from Public Herald Studios about the Rights of Nature and community rights movements.
It features the work of Mercersburg-based Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund in Grant Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, related to a drilling waste injection well, and Toledo, Ohio and includes CELDF’s Markie Miller, Tish O’Dell, Chad Nicholson, Ben Price, and other staff.
“Our legal system is rigged to commodify Nature, to favor private property above Life,” said Invisible Handco-writer & director Melissa Troutman. “It’s a system that makes it perfectly legal to harm innocent people without their consent and threaten the survival of the planet.”
Co-writer and director Joshua Pribanic says, “Invisible Hand is about witnessing the elephant in the room before it’s extinct. It’s showing us that, when face-to-face with the harmful effects of capitalism and our current way of life, Rights of Nature becomes the battle cry. My hope is that wherever you are, this film can speak to your fight.”
“People are adapting to these perils in daring and creative ways – and winning,” Ruffalo added. “Invisible Hand shows how to fight the forces that put profit above all else while addressing the root cause of our flawed system.”
Following the World Premiere will be a panel discussion featuring Markie Miller, degawëno:da’s (he who thunderz) of the Wolf Clan, Seneca Nation of Indians, Mark Ruffalo, co-directors Melissa Troutman and Joshua Pribanic, and editor Andrew Geller.
