Free Earth Day Streaming of Award-Winning Film Featuring Riane Eisler Begins Today!

Hi!  I am Joyce Johnson the co-producer of the award-winning film Mother: Caring for 7 Billion, featuring Riane Eisler.   We have some exciting news for Earth Day.   We are streaming Mother for free on the Mother website beginning today, April 19th to the end of May.  We wanted to give audiences around the world an opportunity to watch the new 2013 “Director’s Cut” Internet release, with never before seen footage.  As you may imagine, Mother is both a human rights and environmental film that uncovers the humanitarian, environmental and social costs that result from the domination of women, children and the environment and reveals how empowering women is the solution to many of these problems.   As Ellen V. Moore, on the board of directors of Amnesty International USA wrote "The many faces of population have not been responsibly and respectfully explored...until now. 'Mother:Caring for 7 Billion' is a film that elegantly, deftly, and respectfully shows how that happens.”

Human rights and environmental groups have been waiting for a comprehensive film like Mother that treats population in a balanced and thoughtful way.  Mother features many world-renowned experts including Aminata Toure from the UNFPA, Susan Davis from BRAC USA and Malcolm Potts from the Bixby School of Public Health.    Population was a major topic in the first Earth Day in 1970 and we hope that this Earth Day many people will take this opportunity to watch this important film for free at www.motherthefilm.com

We are asking groups can organize a lunch showing for Earth Day and/or if possible help us spread the word by mentioning the free streaming in newsletters and social media or even embedding the film on their websites during part or all of the Earth Day free streaming.   Here are links to Facebook and Twitter ( hashtag #motherthefilm ). 

This Earth Day, give just one hour of your life and see how one film can change the way you view your role in the world.  Please help us spread the word to your friends, family and colleagues about this unique opportunity to watch Mother for free!
