The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

We are very excited to welcome back to the show one of the most visionary minds of our time. He's an Oscar-winning filmmaker, an award-winning photographer, and a passionate environmental activist. Through his lens, he has captured not only the beauty of our world but also the urgent need to protect it.   From his groundbreaking documentary “The Cove,” which exposed shocking animal abuse in Japan, to his awe-inspiring projects like “Racing Extinction” and “The Game Changers,” Louie Psihoyos has consistently pushed the boundaries of storytelling to inspire action and ignite change in all of us.   Today, he's here with us to discuss his new documentary series “You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment,” which chronicles the recent Stanford University study that put a group of genetically identical twins on different diets – plant-based and omnivore – for two months to explore how the foods we consume impact the body.   So tune in to this must-listen episode to be inspired and empowered as we explore how what we eat dictates who we are and even what we can become.   “I want to know the truth because I want to defend the truth. I can defend a lifestyle choice of my own, you know, but I've been to CAFOs – these, you know, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations –  myself. I've been there. I've smelled them. You look at these animals; you're in that horror show that most people can't get to, but people aren't making an informed decision about where their animals come from. They're doing it emotionally. They're doing it by this bro science. And I want to find out the truth.” - Louie Psihoyos   What we discuss in this episode: - The inspiration for You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment.  - Blue zones and longevity. - How telomere length dictates how we age. - Challenges presented during the study. - The exciting health transformation the vegans experienced as a result of the study. - Exposure to and impact of endocrine-disrupting plastics. - Clothes and the environment. - Louie's exciting upcoming projects.   Resources: - Watch You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment | Netflix Official Site - https://www.netflix.com/title/81133260 - Oceanic Preservation Society - https://opsociety.org/ - Instagram: Louie Psihoyos - https://www.instagram.com/psihoyos/ - How to be a Conscious Consumer with Healabel app creator Adriane Marie - Switch4Good - https://switch4good.org/how-to-be-a-conscious-consumer-with-healabel-app-creator-adriane-marie/ - California Cloth Foundry - https://clothfoundry.com/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

The James Bond of filmmaking, Louie Psihoyos is an Academy Award winning documentarian with a track record of putting his life at risk to create weapons of mass instruction designed to thrill—and forge positive change. One of the most interesting people I have ever met, Louie took home the Oscar for The Cove, an Ocean's 11-esque thriller that powerfully exposed the gruesome underbelly of the Japanese dolphin trade. Louie also documented the rise of the plant-based athlete in the James Cameron produced Netflix hit, The Gamechangers and powerfully drew attention to mass species extinction in 2015's Racing Extinction. Today he shares his remarkable story. Why he puts his life on the line for causes most urgent. And what he hopes to achieve as a result. This is a conversation about harnessing the power of story to spark action, ignite social change, and challenge cultural norms. It's an honor to share Louie's powerful perspective with you today—may it incite you to action.

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.  Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow's milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast.  Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers, which chronicles the story of the world's most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers was released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes.  Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike. Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

Academy Award winning documentarist Louie Psihoyos (director of The Cove, Racing Extinction, The Game Changers) and projection-mapping artist Chris Lejeune tell David Rowan about their audacious Projecting Change event. It will take place on the east façade of the United Nations Secretariat Building in New York on October 22, 23 & 24 2021, one week before the COP in Glasgow. The event will be live streamed and broadcast globally. It will feature climate luminaries, youth and indigenous activists, musicians and artists from around the world who will be sounding the alarm on the climate crisis. Louie and Chris spoke at a VOYAGERS climate-tech community meeting.

In this EXCLUSIVE PLANT CEO special we speak with Louie Psihoyos, Executive Director of Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS). Louie has been creating highly moving documentaries for over 10 years now. With the thread of the films being that we are already going through the 6th mass extinction on the earth as result of human interference. This led him to his first film 'The Cove' which won an Academy Award for Best documentary feature, that exposed dolphin hunting. The second film 'Racing Extinction' recently won the Best Green Film of the Decade, which explored species extinction and exposed the shark finning trade. We also focus on the world of Super Athletes like Lewis Hamilton who have turned to eating plant-based in 'The Game Changers'. During the first month of release on Netflix, searches for “plant-based diet” rose by 350% globally. So all his films have resulted in becoming social movements of change for the better. We also discuss the automotive industry's journey to electrification; especially with Elon Musk and TESLA that resulted in him commissioning a build of a real life James Bond car that even 'Q' would be happy with. It was also amazing to know a little more about all his upcoming projects too. https://www.opsociety.org/ https://racingextinction.com/ https://gamechangersmovie.com/ About PLANT CEO More people are choosing to follow plant-based diets. Exciting new startups are disrupting this space by creating innovation in food, direct to consumer food delivery services, clothing, health care products and restaurants. We will be interviewing plant-based CEO's and established leaders in their own fields. Hear what drives these entrepreneurs, why they became vegan and learn more about their companies. https://plantceo.com/

Louie is a photographer and documentary filmmaker, so what's he doing on a podcast about paleontology?  Well, you can thank Jurrasic Park for that. 

Keegan Kuhn, Shaun Monson, Marc Pierschel and Louie Psihoyos join host Sean Russell to talk about their films, production, veganism, activism, the pandemic, and the current shift in societies perception of animal cruelty. This panel was held during the second day of our SoFlo Vegans EXPO back in April 2020.

As an Academy Award-winning documentarian, Louie Psihoyos has seen the world how it really is. He’s seen the best of nature and the worst of humanity, and he uses his art to celebrate the honorable and change the horrific. This conversation spans decades of experience working as a National Geographic photographer, going undercover to make the award-winning film The Cove, and creating the perfect formula to incite change with The Game Changers. His insight will shock you—from the atrocities committed against sealife to the profound impact his films have made. This show will grip you from start to finish.    What we discuss in this episode:   - Men’s health and virility by way of The Game Changers film    - Louie’s eye-opening experience as a The National Geographic photographer   - The nexus between eating animals and spreading disease   - Going undercover with The Cove   - Environmental, ethical, and health issues of eating fish   - The Game Changers film: https://gamechangersmovie.com/   Connect with Switch4Good   - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   - Twitter: https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood   - Website: switch4good.org   - Support Our Cause: https://switch4good.org/support-us/

The world of documentary film is a particularly powerful avenue for social impact. Today’s guest, Louie Psihoyos, is an example of someone that has figured out how to make a massive impact through storytelling and cinema. Louie made waves with his first film, The Cove. Sweeping awards and informing a worldwide audience on terrible dolphin hunting practices in Japan — his film helped to reduce dolphin hunting by 90%. Since then, Louie has continued to create numerous award-winning documentaries around the conservation movement that have reached millions, if not billions.Louie was a National Geographic photographer for 18 years and was involved in helping to kickstart the recycling movement with his photography. In 2005, he started the Oceanic Preservation Society and since then has used film as his main weapon for conservation. Louie exemplifies the dream of so many filmmakers: moving hearts and changing minds. In our conversation, we do a deep dive into his philosophy towards film and activism and his rules for making an impactful piece of art. He shares the important ingredients that go into his projects and what it takes to ignite social movements — and ultimately — positive change. We cover the practical side of this and get into the pros and cons of defining oneself as an environmental activist.

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals. Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast. View the commercial at: https://Switch4Good.org. Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers (http://gamechangersmovie.com), which chronicles the story of the world’s most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes. Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike. Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

To mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, I welcomed an Oscar award-winning documentary filmmaker Louie Psihoyos to The Spencer Lodge Podcast. Louie Psihoyos' documentaries explore how humanity is killing the world... and Louie explains for us to turn this dire situation around, it's crucial we change what's on our plates. Louie also talked about dedicating 5-10 years to producing each documentary, his horrific mercury poisoning from consuming too many fish, and how many different communities around the world live a healthier lifestyle and thrive off VEGETARIAN DIETS. Happy Earth Day all.

This week we analyze podcast 1388 Louie Psihoyos and 1389 with Chris Kresser Louie makes documentaries and was the creator of the very emotional "Cove" movie. It was a huge eye opener to the horrible treatment of dolphins. Chris is back on with Rogan to discuss the new Vegan documentary called “game changers”. There were lots of bold claims in the movie and our discussing is what can be taken away from it all.

In this episode I share some of my thoughts on documentary that recently broke the internet, The Game Changers. The Game Changers is a documentary that for the most part highlights the accomplishments of elite athletes who are following a plant-based diet. It does talk about some of the environmental and health issues associated with plant-based diets, but the primary focus of the movie is on the athletes and their performance. Many people have been "debunking" this film via podcasts, articles, and YouTube videos and this has resulted in a lot of back and forth with responses being directed toward these "debunking" efforts. Personally it amazes me how worked up people get over plants, but it has definitely made for some great reading and watching online. If you haven't seen the documentary yet, you can stream it on Netflix and get more information about the documentary and the science they used to back of their claims here: https://gamechangersmovie.com/the-film/# Here is an article I wrote that corresponds to the film and some critiques of it as well as my thoughts on vegan athletes: https://strength-and-health.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-vegan-athlete-myth.html Show Notes: My thoughts on the documentary. Critics and "debunkers" of the film. Why London Real's Brian Rose claims the athletes featured in the film are not at top of their respective sports when their titles and records say otherwise. The rest of Patrik Baboumian's diet that Chris Kresser failed to mention on his latest episode of the JRE. Why I feel the sensationalism around plant-based diets needs to stop. Why didn't Joe Rogan talk about The Game Changers, a film he has been very critical of, with the film's director Louie Psihoyos when he was on the JRE the day before Chris Kresser came on to "debunk" it? It is not any harder to fuel athletic performance with a plant-based diet than an omnivorous diet despite what the "experts" claim. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/strength-and-health/support

If you have watched The Cove, Racing Extinction or most recently, The Game Changers you have seen the work of Louie Psihoyos. He is a master of the art of storytelling and will inspire you to take action. His ideas and thinking outside the box started in the very beginning when he was hired by National Geographic at the age of 23 as a photographer. Louie is also the Executive Director of the Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS) which he cofounded with entrepreneur Jim Clark in 2005. The mission is to educate the public of an ocean in peril and showcasing the environmentalists on the frontline of the fight to save one of our most valuable resources. The Cove, won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Film of 2009 and over 75 other awards around the world. An annual dolphin hunt in a secret cove in Taiji, Japan suggests a microcosm of a larger picture: man’s disregard for the planet. The next film, Racing Extinction, brings to light that our world is dying and we are in a race against time.

Louie Psihoyos is a Greek-American filmmaker, photographer and director. He began his career as one of the first new photographers that National Geographic had hired in several years. He is perhaps best known as the Director of The Cove, about the slaughter of dolphins in Japan, which won an Oscar in 2010. He has also made the film Racing Extinction, about the sixth global mass extinction. And he’s currently working on The Gamechangers with James Cameron, a film about vegan super athletes due out later this year. He’s also the Founder and Chief Executive of the Oceanic Preservation Society which works to bring together artists and activists to protect the oceans and the planet. In the course of this conversation we talk about how Louie pioneered a new form of environmental journalism when he was at National Geographic, how a chance meeting with Stephen Spielberg, and a passion for dinosaurs, ignited an interest in extinction, and why he believes that a plant-based diet is the best for our health, our wallets and the planet. This is a fascinating conversation with one of the world’s leading environmental filmmakers and advocates. The Wild Voices Project podcast tells the stories of people saving nature. We are part of WILDVoices media, a global production team bridging emerging storytellers with aspiring environmental professionals. Find out more about us at wildvoicesproject.org.

Joseph and I talk about his new film The Game Changers, plant based diets, nutrition and diet, why it’s important not to be self-righteous. Watch the Trailer here. Synopsis Directed by Oscar-winner Louie Psihoyos, THE GAME CHANGERS tells the story of James Wilks — elite special forces trainer and winner of The Ultimate Fighter — as he travels the world on a quest for the truth behind the world's most dangerous myth: that meat is necessary for protein, strength and optimal health. Executive produced by James Cameron and featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, THE GAME CHANGERS fuses live, groundbreaking science with cinematic stories of struggle and triumph showcasing some of the strongest, fastest and toughest athletes on the planet. Meeting elite athletes, special ops soldiers, visionary scientists, cultural icons, and everyday heroes, what James discovers permanently changes his relationship with food and his definition of true strength. Biography Joseph Pace is a Canadian writer and researcher who has been focused on the future of food for more than two decades. Prior to his work on The Game Changers, Joseph coordinated What’s On Your Plate?, a multidisciplinary report that examined the hidden costs of industrial agriculture in Canada on public health, rural communities, the environment, and animal welfare. Joseph also played a pivotal role in helping to launch NutritionFacts.org, the first non-commercial, science-based website to provide free video updates on the latest in nutrition research.

From Sundance, I sit down with ultimate fighter, James "Lightning" Wilks, former special ops, anti-poacher, Damien Mander, athlete and strongman competitor, Patrik Baboumian and former NFL player, Lou Smith, who break open the myth that meat is good for you in the movie, The Game Changers.  Specifically, they explain in scientific detail that meat is responsible for significantly increasing the risks for many of the major diseases and that all that we thought we knew about meat is a marketing spin from the meat and dairy industry.  Coming from some of the most manly men around, they also prove that eating meat decreases libido and sexual function and produces the opposite result of what manly men actually want. Apparently, real men eat plants!  The movie features Arnold Schwarzenegger, is produced by James Cameron, and is directed by Academy Award winner (The Cove), Louie Psihoyos.

Magda Freedom Rod is an environmentalist and lifestyle guide. Through her website Visionary-Lifestyle.com, she helps people achieve their highest potential with conscious eating, yoga and meditation. If you’ve not listened to them yet, check out episodes 24 and 74 where Magda talks about her e-course Conscious Eating 101.com and how to set new intentions for Spring. Earth Day is an opportunity to love Mother Earth and be thankful for all that she provides. “99.9% of people don’t make the connection that their food choices impact the environment in a major way.” Concern for the planet’s health is what first made Magda switch to a plant based diet. She uses Earth Day to get people to think about their impact on the planet. What is one thing that we can do to start reducing our carbon footprint and take care of Mother Earth? “Three simple words: Eat More Plants. The more plants you eat, the less meat you eat, and the lighter your footprint on the planet.” Thanks to documentaries such as Cowspiracy (if you’ve not seen this, we highly recommend it!), more and more people are becoming aware of the destructive impact of intensive agriculture. The word is getting out! Going vegan is not just good for the body, it’s good for the planet too. Magda talked us through just some of the factors that make intensive animal farming so detrimental to Mother Earth: Climate change: animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, which is the biggest threat to human survival. The methane from the cows and the deforestation of the rainforest for cattle grazing are the two main factors at play. And grass fed cows are just as guilty, if not more—they produce 40-60% more methane! Overfishing: in 90% of the oceans, big fish are gone. We’re fishing at unsustainable rates and the ocean simply isn’t replenishing. What’s more, for every pound of seafood, there are 5 pounds of bi-kill (whales, dolphins, sea turtles, endangered species that are caught in the nets at the same time). Pollution: toxic waste from animal farms leeches into the soil and contaminates ground water. We were shocked by showing animal feces being sprayed into the environment. Species extinction through habitat destruction: a perfect example is the cute koala, which will be extinct by 2030 because its home is being cleared out to make space for… grass fed cattle! A great film to watch is Racing Extinction by Louie Psihoyos. Amazon rainforest destruction: the lungs of the planet are being destroyed at the crazy rate of an acre a second! 91% of the Amazon has been decimated for animal agriculture. Fresh water: it takes 2500-5000 gallons of water to produce a pound of beef. 50% of the water in the US is used for animal agriculture. Is that a sustainable practice on a planet plagued with drought? We don’t think so!! Especially when a pound of quinoa, rice, greens or hemp can be produced using under 150 gallons of water. We are facing a frightening situation, and yet if everyone switched to a plant-based diet, Mother Earth would regenerate itself. “Our personal choices are actually really powerful”, says Magda. The more people are inspired to eat more plants and less animals, the faster the world can heal. Magda’s six-week program Conscious Eating 101 contains all the resources you need to start loving both yourself and Mother Earth. With recipes, videos, homework and books you can deepen your knowledge and transition into a healthier plant based diet. Be part of the solution. Honor Mother Earth and eat more plants!  

The mind’s ability to envision more than what is physically present in the world is an astounding fact of life. We’re always imagining, thinking, and living in our heads. Our thoughts and our imaginations shape how we see the world, they shape our words and our actions. This is nothing new. We’ve been doing this for all our lives. as far as we can remember. But that’s why we take a closer look and ask the question: how do our imagined lives shape our reality? What happens day to day at the frontier between the worlds we imagine and the worlds we inhabit.

This week on Animal Instinct , host Celia Kutcher is on the line with the project’s Academy Award Winning Director Louie Psihoyos, also director of The Cove, chatting about his experiences shooting Racing Extinction, the campaign #startwith1thing, and most importantly, how listeners can take action to make a difference.  Tune in for some staggering statistics, thoughts on conservation, as well as details surrounding the documentary’s airing on the Discovery Channel on December 2, 2015 at 9PM/ET. “They say you never really finish a documentary, you abandon it.” [6:00] “If somebody wants to change the world, save the planet, change your diet.” [8:00] –Louie Psihoyos on Animal Instinct    

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, debbie welcomes some very eclectic filmmakers talking about very unique – and fun – films. First up, director Madellaine Paxson joins debbie live to talk about her first feature film, BLOOD PUNCH. What makes Paxson's choice of BLOOD PUNCH even more interesting as her feature directorial debut is that her prior work, and that of BLOOD PUNCH writer Eddie Guzelian, has been as screenwriter for such terrific kids programming as "Power Rangers RPM", "The Tigger Movie", "Go, Diego, Go!" and more! From kids to comedic horror. And Madellaine explains it all! Then writer/director Phil Allocco is live talking about his latest rom com charmer, THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES; and when I say charmer, I do mean charmer! And listen to some powerful excerpts of debbie's exclusive interview with RACING EXTINCTION director, Louie Psihoyos, as they talk about one of the "Must See" documentaries of the year. Plus, in the last segment, you'll hear a little bit from debbie's exclusive director Scott Christopherson and former Utah Sheriff Dub Lawrence for some insight into the documentary PEACE OFFICER. In these troubled times post-Ferguson and continuing allegations of excessive force by police around the country, Dub Lawrence brings his personal story and personal tragedy to us with insight and objectivity. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Den 11 mars är det fyra år sedan den så kallade trippel-katastrofen i Japan. Först en jordbävning, sedan tsunamin och så kärnkraftsolyckan i Fukushima. Kino reste till Tokyo och träffade tre dokumentärfilmare som envist försöker skildra olyckans konsekvenser, trots att både arbetsgivare och regering försöker hindra dem och få befolkningen att glömma. Atsushi Funahashis var nyligen i på filmfestivalen i Berlin med sin Nuclear Nation 2, Hitomi Kamanakas film Little Voices from Fukushima får japansk biopremiär den 7 mars och Jun Horis film Metamorphosis har visats på små biografer runt om i Japan, så trots att dokumentärmakarna är motarbetade så sprids deras filmer.  Att miljöfrågan är central märks sedan många år i utbudet av både spelfilm och dokumentärer med miljöanknytning. Kino har bjudit in radioprogrammet Klotets Marie-Louise Kristola för att diskutera filmens möjlighet att påverka och öka kunskapen om klimathotet. Vi pratar bland annat om filmerna Home och Planet Ocean av Yann Arthus-Bertrand. I Home har han filmat från luften, vilket ger ett suggestivt ovanifrånperspektiv på förändringar av jordens skogar, hav och ökenområden. Nina Asarnoj tipsar också om en ekothriller, indiedrottningen Kelly Reichardts film Night Moves som nu släpps som VOD av Triart och dokumentären Darwins mardröm av Hubert Sauper från 2004, om hur den inplanterade rovfisken nilaborre, utrotar alla andra fisksorter i Victoriasjön i Tanzania. Vi talar också om filmen The Cove. Delfinbukten av Louie Psihoyos. Den ukrainske regissören Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy är bioaktuell med filmen The Tribe om en pojke som går på en internatskola för döva. Filmen har gjort en segerturné runt världens filmfestivaler, bland annat vann den kritikerpriset i Cannes 2014. Fredrik Wadström har talat med Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy om maktspel och hierarkier i skolans värld och även om regissörens nya projekt - en spelfilm om livet i den förbjudna zonen runt Tjernobyl. Och så hör vi en exklusiv intervju med den amerikanske regissören Justin Simien som gjort filmen Dear White People, ett slags skruvad collegefilm om de  om svarta studenternas villkor på ett elituniversitet dominerat av vita elever. FAKTA om japanska strålodokumentärer: Hitomi Kamanakas filmer heter Rokkasho Rhapsody och Ashes to Honey, de distribueras av Zakka films. Nuclear Nation och Nuclear Nation 2 av Atsushi Funahashi går att köpa på nätet. Jun Horis filmer är tyvärr inte tillgängliga. Både Home och Planet Ocean ligger på Youtube. Mer info om filmen Home med svensk text finns på www.filmenhome.se där den går att beställa gratis på dvd.  Programledare: Fredrik Wadström Producent: Nina Asarnoj

An interview with director Louie Psihoyos The truths discovered in documentary films often reveal far more than meet the eye. In his Oscar winning movie "the Cove" photojournalist Louie Psihoyos takes us on an adventure that perhaps shows us more than we want to see. “I lead an elite team of activists to penetrate a secret cove in Japan to reveal a dark secret,” Psihoyos said. The Cove, part action thriller, part nature film is the exciting story behind a covert operation to document one of the most horrific atrocities of the 21st century, the systematic slaughter of dolphins. “They kill more dolphins than anywhere on the planet right there at this cove, which incidentally is in a Japanese national park, a marine sanctuary,” Psihoyos said. That's the irony of this whole thing. But it's also the scene of the captive dolphin trade. Most of the captive dolphins in the world come from this little cove.” Louie Psihoyos Ever since I was a kid I've loved dolphins. These smiling marine mammals are the very image of fun and freedom. Growing up in Southern California I used love to see the dolphin and killer whale shows at ocean theme parks like Marine Land and Sea World. But I never really gave any thought to where these animals came from. The captive dolphin industry was started more than 50 years ago by a man named Rick O'Barry. “Rick O'Barry is the guy who captured and trained the four dolphins who collectively played the part of Flipper, the popular 1960s television series ‘Flipper',” said Psihoyos. “And (he) spent about 10 years building that industry up and he's sent the last 40 tearing it down. The turning point for him was when Cathy, the primary dolphin that played the part of Flipper committed suicide in his arms that he realized that they are more sentient, more intelligent than anyone realized including himself and really turned himself around after that, and he's probably become the world's best known dolphin advocate.” One of the greatest ironies in nature is the dolphin's smile. In captivity that characteristic grin masks a deep sorrow of intelligent creatures that are rounded up and put on display for our amusement. And in the Cove those less suited for the marine mammal sideshow are killed and butchered to be eaten.  But here's the greatest irony. With high levels of mercury in the world's oceans brought on by industrial pollution dolphin meat is toxic. In this interview with Louie Psihoyos recorded at the Mountain Film Festival in Telluride  the Joy Trip Project brings you this incredible story.
