Synopsis

Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time

Green Fire is a feature documentary on the life, ideas, and legacy of conservationist Aldo Leopold. Tracing his intellectual and personal journey, the film situates Leopold’s philosophy of the “land ethic” within the development of modern conservation, wilderness preservation, wildlife management, and ecological restoration. Through archival material, contemporary voices, and on-camera interpretation, the film examines how Leopold’s thinking continues to shape environmental practice across diverse American landscapes, from urban communities to remote wilderness areas, and invites reflection on humanity’s ethical relationship to the natural world.
