“Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mark Kitchell (Berkeley in the Sixties) winningly spans the broad scope of environmental history in this comprehensive doc, connecting its origins with the variety of issues still challenging society today. Broadcast exposure is likely with theatrical release a distinct possibility.”
– Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter

“Rarely do environmental-themed films come with the ambitious scope of ‘A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet’, which aims at nothing less than the history of environmentalism itself.”
– Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

"The material is vast, and it’s an incredibly dynamic film. It’s shaping up to be the documentary of record on the environmental movement. I think it’ll be hugely successful."
– Cara Mertes, Director, Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program

“While it sounds like a tall order to encompass more than half a century of environmental activism history in one film, Kitchell somehow manages to do so in a way that feels comprehensive and vibrant enough to inspire new converts.”
– Basil Tsiokos, what (not) to doc

"Brilliant. Should be assigned viewing for all of us, especially those political leaders currently manning the helm of spaceship earth."
– Jay Meehan, Park Record

“Sweeping and timely.”
– Judy Fahys, Salt Lake Tribune

"Inspiring. Stirring."
