Please help us produce a television documentary with great relevance for our time and honor the memory of environmental champion Stewart Udall! See a sample here: <a href="https://vimeo.com/491417423" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://vimeo.com/491417423</a> Contribute today! Your contribution will help make possible the final research and filming for STEWART UDALL AND THE POLITICS OF BEAUTY, a look at the remarkable Interior Secretary whose fingerprints can be found on nearly all of the most significant environmental legislation Americans now take for granted. The film will showcase a time when the environmental movement came of age, when our leaders did not shy from confronting major problems, and perhaps most importantly in our polarized time, when a spirit of respect and bipartisanship prevailed in American government. It will highlight the value of clean air and water, nature, beauty, and parks to our collective quality of life and inspire in young viewers the kind of life of public service, thoughtful patriotism, and civic courage that Stewart Udall exemplified. Stewart Udall was America’s most effective Interior Secretary and political advocate for environmental protection. But he was also a “Renaissance man” whose broad interests and advocacy included the arts, poetry, racial justice, world peace, government transparency and bipartisanship, history and the sustainable development of cities. He challenged the American love affair with consumerism, advocating quality of life over quantity of goods. THE FILM Stewart Udall and the Politics of Beauty (working title), will be an hour-long biography for PBS (perhaps as part of The American Experience series), produced in cooperation with Arizona Public Television. It will follow the trajectory of Udall’s life from his Mormon childhood in the tiny hamlet of St. John’s, Arizona, through his World War II service in Europe, and his student years at the University of Arizona where he played basketball and fought for integration. The film will document Udall's years in Congress, as Secretary of the Interior under presidents Kennedy and Johnson and his long struggle to win justice and compensation for Navajo uranium miners and the “downwinders” who got cancer from their exposure to radiation and atomic testing. Finally, we explore his final fight against global warming and his last inspiring years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. You’ll meet many of the people who knew Udall well and can shed ample light on his multi-faceted life and personality, including family members. WHY A FILM, AND WHY NOW? A film about the life of Stewart Udall is long overdue.  A PBS documentary about the former Interior Secretary will reveal in depth that period during the sixties and seventies when the environmental movement in America grew into adulthood, showcasing the stories and victories with which Udall was intimately connected.  Perhaps more importantly, in our now deeply partisan environment, it will reveal a time when Americans were not yet so polarized, when big ideas could still capture bipartisan attention.  This film must be made now. Many of the people who knew Udall best are now well along in years and may not be able to tell their stories in the future. Our film will cost more than $300,000 to produce, promote and distribute. We will be seeking most of that funding from foundations, Humanities endowments and other sources. But some of these grants will be late in coming. We began filming in October, but we need funds now to complete filming and meet other immediate needs. Please give generously and share this with your friends and with listservs you may be part of. Thank you! WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? Most importantly, you’ll be helping tell the inspiring history young Americans need to learn to help solve the problems our country faces. Contributions of more than $1,000 will be acknowledged in the film’s credits and all contributions will be listed on our Website. We’ll also send you a password-protected link to the film when it’s complete.
