10-year-old Jaysa rallies the community with her speeches about how the local power plant causes asthma and other health problems. When they succeed in shutting down the plant, she concludes that “words have power.” Director's Statement:The Young Voices for the Planet films document youth solutions to the climate crisis -- young people changing laws, changing minds and changing their communities. Hope and success stories are uplifting and empowering whereas doom and gloom sends young people into despair. I made these films so youth could see their peers taking action and act as role models and catalysts for addressing climate change and other environmental issues as well as a way to demonstrate civic engagement and democracy.

Words Have Power

Charming animated adventure of a raooom finding a flashlight in the woods.
