Go well, do well my children. Cherish sunsets, wild creatures and wild places. Have a love affair with the wonder and beauty of the earth." Stewart Udall, from Message to our Grandchildren

Just in time for Earth Day Santa Barbara Permaculture Network hosts a free community event, the film premiere of Stewart Udall & The Politics of Beauty with award winning filmmaker John de Graaf participating in a discussion & Q&A following with community members describing Stewart Udall’s connection to Santa Barbara and the first Earth Day.

Celebrating the life and legacy of former U.S. Congressman and Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall, this beautiful film tells the inspiring story of Udall as an advocate of social and environmental justice, international cooperation, the arts, and most of all, the protection of our shared environment and magnificent natural beauty, leading the way with much of the environmental legislation we now take for granted. Stewart Udall’s record and accomplishments are perhaps unmatched by any other Interior Secretary, yet most Americans know very little about him.

John de Graaf Bio: John De Graaf has been producing and directing PBS documentaries for more than 40 years. He spent 31 years at KCTS, the Seattle PBS affiliate. Fifteen of his programs have been broadcast nationally in primetime on PBS, including his 1997 hit special, Affluenza. He has directed and written many biographies and history programs, including the PBS national Earth Day 1990 special, For Earth’s Sake: The Life and Times of David Brower, which includes an interview with Stewart Udall. He is an author, filmmaker speaker and activist with a mission to help create a happy healthy and sustainable quality of life for America.
