Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix has unveiled his next film after Joker - a short film urging action on the Climate and Ecological Emergency, with Extinction Rebellion and Amazon Watch. Click the link to watch.
Phoenix is joined in the film, entitled Guardians of Life, by an array of Hollywood stars including Rosario Dawson, Matthew Modine, Q'orianka Kilcher, Oona Chaplin, Adria Arjona, and Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes.
The 2 minute short film, set in an Emergency Room, launches a new campaign to engage the public in different aspects of the Climate and Ecological Emergency. It acts as a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for the plight of the Amazon and its indigenous communities, and an alarm call for deforestation and biodiversity loss taking place in every corner of the globe, as a result of devastating wildfires, droughts, floods and storms.
The involvement of Joaquin Phoenix comes as no surprise, given his history of activism. Phoenix was recently arrested at a protest organised by the actress Jane Fonda in Washington DC, where he spoke about the link between climate change and animal agriculture.
