Description
Slater Jewell-Kemker, who began her filmmaking journey with MY HERO as an elementary school student. Her early film, Slater Meets Her Hero, was honored at the 2005 Film Festival. Over the next decade, Slater dedicated herself to documenting youth climate activists around the world, culminating in her feature film Youth Unstoppable. Filmed over several years, her work demonstrates how film can take a story that unfolds across time and condense it into a powerful, compelling short that captures the essence of a movement. In this powerful excerpt, Slater reunites with her childhood hero, oceanographer Jean-Michel Cousteau, during the Climate March in Washington, D.C., bringing her story full circle and underscoring the lasting impact of environmental advocacy.
