Fisher Stevens to Direct Ozone Drama ‘The Montreal Protocol’ From Highly Flammable and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way (EXCLUSIVE)


Fisher Stevens is set to direct drama ‘The Montreal Protocol’ about scientists' battle to save the ozone layer.

The movement to repair the hole in the ozone layer – which began in the early 1970s and continued for over 20 years – is considered one of the most successful environmental initiatives ever. It was the research of atmospheric scientist Dr. Susan Solomon, who discovered what was causing the rip in the protective layer above earth’s surface, that paved the way to avert disaster. At just 30 years old, Solomon and a team of U.S. scientists ventured into Antarctica to collect crucial evidence that proved chemicals chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were linked to ozone depletion.
