In October, 2020, Georgia Hodges got the opportunity to paint a mural in her San Francisco neighborhood. We got to follow and film her as she took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the words and intention of the Green New Deal. With the help of artist and sign painter David Benzler, she painted a mural in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset District. The mural, titled “The Interconnectedness of All Living Things,” pays homage to life on our planet and to H.R. 109, the Green New Deal Resolution.

INVISIBLE HAND, revered as “paradigm-shifting” and “unlike any film”, dives into a new perspective to address the ever-present climate emergency — giving Nature rights. The Gold Telly award-winning film features the Rights of Nature movement, a new legal paradigm where communities acknowledge Nature’s inalienable rights — an act honoring the beliefs of indigenous cultures. Narrated by degawëno:da’s (he who thunderz) of the Wolf Clan, Seneca Nation of Indians, and from Mark Ruffalo (Executive Producer), this third film by Joshua Boaz Pribanic and Melissa A. Troutman changes the narrative about who speaks for Nature.
