After refusing to fly, climate researcher loses his job: below the New York Times headline is a selfie of a 50-year-old man aboard a pirogue plying the tropical sea, his intellectual goggles contrasting with his Indiana Jones hat. By the time the news detonates globally from the pages of The Guardian and The New York Times on Oct. 13, 2023, Prof. Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental researcher at Kiel University, Germany, has been involved in filming for "The Researcher" for a year. Six months earlier, Grimalda had traveled for 40 days to reach Papua New Guinea, the site of his research, filming the 23,000 kilometers he traveled and the dozens of trains, buses, trucks, cabs, ferries and cargo ships that, emitting ten times less than a single, comfortable air trip, made him save 3.5 tons of CO2. And when, after six months of research in the remotest villages of New Guinea, the University intimates that he must return to his professorship within five days (i.e., by implication, get on a plane) he says no, becoming the first worker fired for refusing to fly. An environmental activist and member of Scientist Rebellion, Grimalda gave up everything - an enviable career and salary, the relationship with his girlfriend, family affections, and a job he loved beyond all else - to raise the alarm about the now desperate condition of the planet, to provide an example and, perhaps, a possible way out. In this film of travel, of adventures, of individual moral principles and universal crisis, there is undoubtedly something crazy. It remains to be seen whether madness is in The Researcher’s action or in its viewers’ everyday behavior.

Steven Marking plays Will Dilg in an inspiring environmental success story, A Visit From Will Dilg. In the early 1920’s Will Dilg’s only son drowned in the Mississippi River. Dilg rose up from the depths of depression and mourning to become a tireless, fanatic firebrand - leading an extraordinary national crusade to save a 261 mile stretch of Mississippi River Backwaters we now know as the Upper Mississippi National Wildlife and Fish Refuge. Dilg first formed the Izaak Walton League in 1922, then they partnered with the National Federation of Women’s Clubs to push the legislation through congress in less than a year. This unprecedented action served as the turning point from filling in wetland for agriculture, to valuing and preserving wetlands in the United States. While his life was cut short, Will Dilg accomplishments are still legendary, and his call to action is just as applicable today as it was 100 years ago. The glorious scenes of the flora and fauna on the refuge serve as a stunning backdrop for this great American story.
