Rebels with a Cause

©2012 — 72/57 minutes

 

Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Frances McDormand, Rebels with a Cause tells the story of a regional California effort that grew into an astonishing system of fourteen National Seashores—the result of garden clubs, ranchers, farmers, conservationists, politicians from both parties, and volunteers working together through compromise and negotiation, with the American public coming up as the winner.

 

This fascinating example of a hard-fought campaign to preserve something important to all of us—our public land—illustrates that the personal is political, and the local is global. A feel-good cinematic experience, Rebels conveys an inspiring truth about how ordinary individuals have the power to change the rules.
