ECO-TERRORIST: THE BATTLE FOR OUR PLANET

NEW YORK (September 30, 2021) — Director/Producer Peter Jay Brown (Entertainment Tonight, Real People, Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist) and producer/actor and PR specialist, Lon Haber (Sharkwater, David Byrne’s American Utopia, The Shape of Water), are thrilled to announce the International Premiere of the latest no-holds-barred environmental feature documentary, Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for Our Planet at the 2021 Wildlife Conservation Film Festival in New York, on Tuesday, October 21, 2021 at 3pm at Cinema Village Theatre, 22 E 12th Street, New York, NY 10003. 

 

 

The film will be followed by a Q&A and panel with the film’s director and longest serving Sea Shepherd first-mate and captain in his own right, Peter Jay Brown as well as additional cast and crew. An encore screening will take place virtually at a date and time TBA in November/December. 

 

According to Brown, “We’re beyond thrilled Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for Our Planet is making its international premiere at the world renown Wildlife Conservation Film Festival (WCFF). My films and television shows on the environment were all about how we started a revolution on a shoestring of tactics and often deceit. Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for Our Planet shows how the struggle has been eclipsed by eco-corporations and money that have overshadowed the efforts of the true activists. Saving the planet involves each and every one of us. This is why I have returned to grass roots activism and am beyond thrilled that audiences will now have a chance to join the good fight and get a first-hand glimpse into the belly of the beast of the eco-movement.”

 

Eco-Terrorist: The Battle for Our Planet follows the most wanted environmentalist today, Captain Paul Watson. In this unique and groundbreaking film, Brown takes a deeper look into what really goes on behind the scenes in the deep waters of our world.  After 40 years on the frontlines, Brown exposes more pranks, the glory of successful missions, and fierce encounters with some of the most infamous and illegal marine hunters, while stopping at nothing to protect wildlife on a global scale. The film takes the audience right to the frontlines of the modern-day environmental movement via those who started it. 

 

Filmmaker and longest-serving Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) crew member, first mate to Captain Paul Watson and a captain in his own right, Peter Jay Brown reunites his ruthless cast in this Post Whale-Wars feature documentary that captures all sides of the SSCS from its inception to this very day. Included is even more never-before-seen footage of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society campaigns featuring renegade environmentalists and their guerilla tactics. 

 

Sneaking about, trouble-making, and at times humorous tricks play a role in trying to put an end to the brutal slaughter of these helpless animals.  

 

Film credits include Director/producer Peter Jay Brown, producer Elora West, writer Timothy Wade Huntley and executive producers Lon Haber and Lawrence Mortoff with music composed by Drew Schnurr.
