Fisher Stevens on Indigenous Doc ‘We Are Guardians’: ‘We Aren’t Going to Get Paid to Do These Social Impact Films, But We Have to Continue to Make Them’
Fisher Stevens discusses the Indigenous documentary 'We Are Guardians' that he produced.
“Through the smoke and confusion of the media coming from Brazil and the international community, we decided to mobilize and uncover the truth,” Greene and Grobman said in a joint statement.”We wanted to hear from those closest to the forest, and the fires, what was happening, from their perspective.” Kilberg adds, “The film is ultimately about activating guardians wherever you are, wherever you live, and showing that we need to come together, stand up, and fight back on these policies that are continuing to harm the environment.” Stevens admits that if he hadn’t had the financial security he was able to achieve by making “Beckham” for Netflix, he wouldn’t have been able to work on “We Are Guardians” or his most recent doc, “A King Like Me,” which follows members of New Orleans’ first Black Mardi Gras krewe.
