- A feature-length documentary about America’s system of public lands and the fight to protect them.
Watch the trailer for 'Public Trust' here: • Public Trust Official ...
Despite support from voters across the political spectrum, our public lands face unprecedented threats from extractive industries and the politicians in their pockets. Part love letter, part political exposé, Public Trust investigates how we arrived at this precarious moment through three heated conflicts-a national monument in the Utah desert, a mine in the Boundary Waters and oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge-and makes a case for their continued protection.

If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend Unequal Protection, How Corporations Became "People" and how you can fight back, by Thom Hartmann.
Disturbing, but explains A LOT.
Has anyone sent this text and are the questions legit staring to ask for things like my name, Zip code Etc...The last part of this film sounding very political and I am not supporting a party but a right... You start to make into a party nomination you will loose many...
Bradley E it just asks if you’d like to opt in for emails. The accompanying link takes you to the website ConservationLands.org, where you can add your signature to support this cause. The main purpose is to increase awareness and opposition to the Administration that’s been ignoring this already overwhelming support.
Angelos Drakon I think the signature requires a U.S. zip-code and phone number, but you can check this website out www.conservationlands.org/take_action
They’re also accepting donations on this website www.conservationlands.org/take_action
Thank you, Patagonia, for making this free for everyone to watch.
You know that means there's a catch, right? Don't you hunt?
It's an ad you idiot.
This company has set a new bar for what it means to give back to this incredible planet of which we owe so much beyond comprehension.
I’ll second that...
I'm stoked that patagonia is getting into the fight, but there have been a ton of companies digging into this at a higher level for a lot of years. Sitka, First Lite, Seek Outside, Argali Outdoors to name a few. Again, I'm glad they are on board but make sure to support all companies devoted to public lands.
In the end the people will prevail. The earth is unhappy and will gladly take out excessive humanity as it has for thousands of years. Support local conservation companies. I do.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm from Ohio and the idea of public lands is amazing so of course I'd want this to be protected. I know why we need oil and gas, but those lands are to be set aside for us and untouched. The history and beauty there should never be beneath oil, gas, and rare Earth minerals.
100%
This documentary is frightening, upsetting, maddening, and beyond important for every American to see.
My wife walked away crying, I am Canadian, she is Brazilian, we see this happening everywhere. My heart is breaking, keep fighting for your public lands. Don’t loose hope. Your neighbour. Hugs
@@Sunbumpaul Yes, I cried during and after. We know about the destruction and fires in the Amazon, and cry for Brazil too. There are many Americans who know that we are in our last chance to change the course towards justice, peace, and to save humanity both in America and around the world.
@discorperted whats their agenda
@discorperted You don't know if @Christine Clougherty Ng has a 1st class life or not and a hand full of corporate personHOODs will "prosper" not the people of Brazil. Are you a member of ALEC?
@discorperted You don't know anything about me, do not assume. I do know what slash and burn is (referring to your comment below), yet the fires last year were more extensive than could be attributed to farmers.
Being a Native American, we don't own the land we are stewards of it. Its our responsibility to see it is preserved and cared for. Our future generations, our grandchildren and their children should be able to view the wonder of our public lands as we do. I'm a full time RV'er, and I use and stay on public lands to enjoy the beauty and diversity of its beauty. I'm at peace there. A well done informative documentary, Thank You
@discorperted They all work for United Nations. ALL your politicians have SOLD OUT. Voting democrat or republican makes no difference. They are all bought and paid for. Look into U.N. Agenda 2020/21 and 2030. Every time we vote we give OUR power away and we give consent.

@@matrixabandonedanddissolve9172 When President Trump addressed the U.N. it was a 8 minute talk. I think they said was the shortest a president address ever. And it was done from the Whitehouse not the UN in New York.
@@richardpalmanteer9798 Yep. Government has never worked for the people. All politicians play a role and Trump is one of the greatest actors pretending to be on the side of the people, but none of them are. Borders and countries are an illusion. It's all part of the divide and conquer game. They are always pointing the blame somewhere else especially after their false flags while they are the true enemies and have been for centuries. Governments, taxes, wars, terrorists, socially engineered movements.....all to create fear and control of the entire population of planet earth. Never trust what world leaders are saying. They only work for the billionaires and trillionaires while they are completely lying to us and throw the words of freedom and democracy around.
@@matrixabandonedanddissolve9172 Thank you, Presidents and the US Calvary have tried to exterminate the Native American. We are still here and our culture and history have survived. Our way of life is to live WITH nature and caring for the land. Glad to see a documentary that shows a view of the benefits of keeping Public Lands untouched. Many people benefit from keeping the land away from change that will last forever. I'm 68, and take pride in doing my part in keeping the environment safe and cared for. Climate change will alter and change the way we live. The need to take action is now.
@@richardpalmanteer9798 Yes, and thank god you are still here. Many indigenous people have been slaughtered around the world in order to steal their land. This was always a Global agenda and still is today with the U.N. Agenda 2021 and 2030. The people at the top are our enemies. We know them as the 1% or the Luciferians. They are the instigators for all the wars and terror in this world. They have great knowledge regarding psychology, mind control, and social engineering the masses. They are destroying the planet. Yes, we all must take better care of this planet, no doubt. People buy and consume without another thought as to how something was made and what resources were taken from the planet. Below is a link to a wonderful site in regards to weather modification. The technology is unbelievable. The man that created this site has archived thousands of news articles and patents about the weather weapons. All directed towards the worlds populations on the planet. Also a good book to read is Tavistock Institute: Social Engineering the Masses.

As with our health issues, it never does any good to treat the symptoms, we must get to the root cause. The root cause of all the suffering on this planet comes from the 1% Globalist Luciferians. They hide behind government, religions, corporations, world leaders, medical industry, banking, etc. They say they care and want to help but behind the closed doors the opposite deeds are created by the same people. Why are they so evil? Because they want us distracted from our true Soul purpose and the return to Spirit. I have to thank all the Native Americans for opening many eyes about the land and nature. Many of us grew up with the lack of your knowledge. I think many more are waking up to the abuse of mother earth. I am now reading a wonderful book titled, Spirits of the Earth: A Guide to Native American Nature Symbols, Stories and Ceremonies by Bobby Lake-Thom. What a wonderful book. We should have had books like this to read in first grade, but this is knowledge that the controllers do not want us to know.
Don't ever let politics let companies separate you from other people in protecting your public lands. It is above Democrats, Republicans, and Independents - everyone has a stake in making sure our public lands stay preserved. There were people on the right and people on the left in this doc - that should show you how important this is to the American identity. So when it comes time to vote - make sure your legislators AREN'T in the pocket of special interests (this includes both Democrats and Republicans)
Exactly, I’m conservative and I’m tired of people denigrating people on the right as hating nature/the environment. There are plenty of people on the right who love nature, and people on the left who love nature, and people in between who love nature, and people who don’t care about left or right or whatever who love nature
The problem is that ALL politicians are in the pocket of special interests. Lobbying is the culprit, along with the exorbitant cost of elections. As they say in Texas "you dance with them that brought you". To really invoke change, we need to 1) institute term limits, 2) abolish all forms of lobbying, and 3) provide tight financial "caps" regarding what a politician can spend on an election. Of course, I can already numerous politicians, their snouts at the trough, explaining to me why term limits are counterproductive...
The are all bought and paid for they should wear the patches of their sponsors....just like NASCAR drivers do
All land was public land in soviet union. Just sayin'
Hey I'm a MI independent and I was wondering if there is a list of politicians , conservatives ,or not insane others ? They are all so full of shit that looking at their campaign websites don't really tell you what they are really going to do.
I am a disabled American who without public lands would be stuck at home 24/7. Being able to enjoy our public lands is my only reason to continue living. Please save our lands.
That’s interesting or ironic. My dads paralyzed but because of ENVIRONMENTALISTS MY DAD CANT VISIT PUBLIC LANDS HE PREVIOUSLY COULD BECAUSE THEY CLOSE ROADS AND TRAILS DOWN. He used to could ride horse but being paralyzed he now he can only use a side by side or truck. ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE BANNING HIM FROM VISITING LOTS OF AREAS!!!
This chills me to the bone. Seeing such blatant disregard for the voice of the American people, politicians motivated solely by their greed for money and power... It seems to go again at everything we are as a country.
It gives me great hope to see all the people willing to stand up against this, not for personal benefit, bit because of their love for all public lands and the freedom for future generations. Once again the Patagonia team has put together a masterpiece that voices the hearts of the people and gives a voice to the land, which is so often left voiceless. Thank you, and to all those reading this I hope you are inspired to act to protect your public lands.
Elliot Sanford and the casual racism toward native Americans is just mind blowing.
@discorperted Quit clowning. Pat used 6 million dollars to construct a new forest service headquarters which is hardly anything and has literally nothing to do with "raping" the park in any sort of fashion for "pet projects", wtf is that even supposed to mean?
@discorperted Please show me the source you have on this in the same way I provided a source on your other post. Oh wait you can't can you because it literally doesn't exist.
@discorperted Not sure how you consider a debate childish when you are being asked basic questions. Not only did I provide as source, that in and of itself contain hundreds of sources, that you proceeded to blatantly ignore, but the source you provided also shows nothing of the description you described prior. As per the article you linked, the NPS has funds that can be administered however need be, they purposely put this money aside for things exactly like this. And the grant that its going to is literally for the preservation and protection historic architecture in Vermont, which literally has nothing to do with "pork" or even touching on encroaching of the public lands that are in place. It quite literally is just a restoration of historic properties that already exist so I am not sure what world you are living in where this is considered "rape".
@discorperted Not sure how you are going to say I'm lying when you stated this was about pork and yet not a single word you just used from the article states that. You only just quoted the article for exactly what I had initially said which didn't say anything on your part, and then you made another baseless claim that nothing you provided as evidence supports and instead is coming out of the ass whereas I had put the following: www.outsideonline.com/2277446/public-lands-war-timeline in another discussion you where spouting the same rhetoric that literally contains an entire timeline from January 2017 of Trumps Anti-Public lands initiatives to date. Don't worry bud nobody is going to read your brick dense lies and come to the conclusion that you are right here. Anybody could find online just how much racist, sexist, conspiratorial junk you comment on all over the place, so if you are an actual person and not some bot then I wish you luck getting out of the insane hatred you have for seemingly everything on the face of the earth.
It is quite fitting that, during this premiere, a news bulletin announced that a federal judge in Montana ruled that William Perry Pendley cannot continue to serve as the temporary head of the BLM. Though he held that post for more than a year, he has never been confirmed by the Senate. Kudos to MT Governor Steve Bullock for bringing that suit.
He's held it for 424 days, as I understand it. Trump withdrew his nomination when he knew he wouldn't get the confirmation.
thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/518376-court-removes-pendley-from-role-as-public-lands-chief
Tosca A Dept of the Interior spokesperson said the ruling will be appealed so that Pendley can continue to serve. As with most rulings that go against Trump, who will enforce it?
Dear Mr. Pendley we are here to inform you that you have been categorically excluded from any power over Public Lands, meaning: go away ! :D
I applaud all of the people who had the courage to make this documentary
When the Last Tree Is Cut Down, the Last Fish Eaten, and the Last Stream Poisoned, You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money
So sad! For such a beautiful country. Thanks @Patagonia for informing, educating and fighting and not just being a business :)
This is why I switched to a career dedicated to the protection of public lands. Chilling trailer
Can I ask what you do?
Andrew Blum I work for the Forest Service!
@@kaihollenberg4444 do you need a degree I work in film and I am heavy on want to live in Washington and work in Forest Services
If you have any advice for people seeking to dedicate their careers to defending public lands but unsure where to start, I’d love to hear it. There are so many different paths and it’s overwhelming trying to figure out which careers can make the most impact.
@@Leon-qh9br You do not need a degree for many seasonal (and some permanent positions). Seasonal work with the Forest Service is the best way to gain experience & get a foot in the door if you're interested in dedicating your career to land management! Even if you don't plan to have a full career with USFS, NPS, or BLM, seasonal jobs can be a great way to get paid to spend time outdoors, work hard, and have a positive impact on the land you care about. You can see job postings on USAjobs.gov. Forest Service (USFS) is beginning their hiring for next summer season.
As an avid outdoorswoman, watching this I was outraged...but if I look at my life and my consumer choices --the gas guzzler I drive and all the petroleum-based products I use from day to day, not to mention all the rare earth metals in the cell phone I'm typing this on.. well I feel like a massive hypocrite. I'm still outraged... but I guess mostly with myself 😩
Hey we all share a part but we aren't like them. They are purposely looking to kill, steal and destroy
You are the victim of a system you didn't design. Blaming yourself takes the people who are truly responsible off the hook.
Corn fuel is perfectly fine.. They say it isn't but Theres a university that ran a test on a 2003 chevy tahoe all parts were cleaner, and in perfect condition vs gas cars... issue is Ethanol and rubber dont mix.. but we have better parts now that can handle ethanol.
My two cents as producer of this film and after learning quite a bit about these issues: We can't conflate large systematic problems with limited personal choices. It's just too convenient to make it be our fault, the little guys, when corporate interests are getting away with murder. But we can vote to change out the politicians doing the bidding of the fossil fuel industry and those that refuse to change the system. And as reasonable opportunities and more sustainable choices in our own lives present themselves, yes we should adjust our personal behaviors to reflect the world that we would like to see.
Don't worry, it is all to stir our emotions, great production value! Agenda 21 or now Agenda 2030 or wetlands project 2005 is about getting everyone off public lands and into smart cities. Stack and pack housing! The douches who made this are just as bad as the douches doing the damage! Both sides just paint eachother in the most negative light to swing the pendulum. The agenda marches on regardless! The people on the ground are real for the most part, but even still, looking into most of them reveals some creepy and or dark shit! Notice in the areas that have recently burned that committees have taken over control and changed a lot of zoning! Red Team Blue Team, it's not the "YOU" Team! Think Gavin Newsome wants electric cars for the environment? LOL! He just wants the new thing that He is ushering in "to win" The batteries alone are worse environmental impact that gas cars "now". Gavin has been doing rolling black outs and wants all cars to be electric, hows that gonna work? There is not enough power to keep the damn lights on. What a douche he is! A Getty Pawn! Pelosi's Golden Boy! Ugh!
As a Utahn it makes me sad that our politicians “represent” all us Utahns. I was there at the Chafets town hall and it felt like all of us were going to do something and have our voices heard that it wasn’t only the native tribes that were angry with, but we were all angry. There was so much more people that couldn’t make it in. It was an experience and we all need to keep speaking up and let them know corporations will not rule our beautiful public lands. I have too much pride in Utah as a true born Utahn and it is an amazing state with a lot of opportunities. I absolutely loved this documentary! Please keep at the good work Patagonia!
Yeah, as a resident of Utah it was very uncomfortable watching this. Our elected officials are honestly some of the worst. Not quite as bad as that guy from Alaska who said indigenous people didn't count as people. But almost.
If this is the sort of thing that Patagonia is working on, I have a sudden urge to go buy a shirt from them to contribute something so that films like this can continue to be made and accessed by all. Hopefully, one day, though, these kinds of films won’t need to be produced.
their products are well made and responsibly made. Worth every penny.
their clothes last a long time
me too!
They have like 9 factories in China I wouldn’t buy anything from them. And believe me I can afford it.
@@brianjoldersma9301 And I bet if we went through your closets and drawers we would find no garments that were made in China, right?
I love how you framed this correctly. This is not a partisan issue. Republicans, Democrats and Independents all overwhelmingly support public lands.
What r u smokin. Republicans are way more likely to exploit public lands
Don't just be moved by this film for an hour or a week. Make sure this has a lasting impact on you and VOTE. Vote like your lives depend on it because they do, sign up to be poll workers- stay informed and share all you've learned with those around you! This was an excellent film, I sincerely hope Patagonia continues to be a large presence for environmental causes!
I am for sure voting Trump out. Have you ever seen a commercial realtor/developer take no for an answer?
Exactly, vote Trump, as he just signed a nearly ten billion dollar expansion of land protection for national parks and national lands. It has been said to be the most significant environmental protection bill in half a century.
@@sawyersprott Stop clowning. It is widely known, beyond doubt, that Trump has done more to assault public lands, and the environment in general, than any president in decades. The legislation you mention, the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA), has nothing to do with Trump; he long refused to sign it and was then only compelled to do so because of political implications for Republican politicians in particularly effected states.

Dankinus Maximus it is a bipartisan bill that he signed to win re-election and is a good thing. Written by both democrats and republicans. And let me add that the bill was first introduced by Democrat and civil rights leader John Lewis RIP, which Trump made no mention of, again showing that he is only doing it for reelection and the personal accolades. If he wins again, he can definitely reverse things, just as swiftly as he did when he office came into office.
Trump IS the only president in U.S. history to have removed more public lands and protection than ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN HISTORY.
Our nation’s unique system of public lands are not traditionally a partisan issue: 12.5 million acres of public land were protected during the Reagan administration. George H.W. Bush protected 17.8 million acres. His son protected 3.8 million acres. And, of course, President Obama protected 548 million acres both on land and at sea, by far the most of any president in history.
@discorperted Based on all the comments you've made elsewhere it's not worth even having this conversation as you seem to step off with the footing of us being insane without showing a shred of what you are claiming either. I will leave the following article along with literally hundreds of backed sources as a reference if you so chose to look: outsideonline.com/2277446/public-lands-war-timeline
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.
discorperted ummm no. I stand by my original statement. I’ve been watching this administration dismantle every protection for us, our families, and our environment, since the day they took office. I’m not fooled at all. Are you?
discorperted id laugh but I’m crying. These are bandaids over gaping wounds. Follow the money is my suggestion. Looks who’s getting rich off tax payers’ backs.
@@wholenutsanddonuts5741 Democrats AND Republicans are the problem. They are psychopaths electing sociopaths. Pure evil. A two-party criminal syndicate.
@discorperted Please wake up and smell the corporate america manufactured freedom crack you've been smoking. Seems you & your fellow junkies are so high on that corporate freedom crack, self-righteousness & brand America that can't set it aside long enough to think like a human being.
The purpose of life is life, not wealth; prosperity, not riches.
Wealth, prosperity and riches can make life better though, like a fly rod or a mountain bike.
Easy for people to say if they do not make $1/hour

@discorperted my point is rich people can say "purpose of life is life" and not earn a living.
@@zombierider2794 No.Wealth is freedom from that crap. Wealth is found in the beautiful experience of appreciating and respecting animals and nature .

Thank You Robert and Yvon. Cant take anything for granted in our polarized society and lack of concern in what is in everybody's best interest. VOTE, TAKE ACTION, and DONATE to those groups leading the fight.
Fabulous documentary! I don’t see how anyone would support the privatization of our public lands. It seems that only those who are greedy and out of touch with nature would do so. Kudos to Patagonia for taking a stand to protect our wild places for future generations to admire and enjoy.

Powerful... Who else is questioning why they haven't done more for environmental conservation after watching this? I know I am... Huge thanks to Patagonia and all the participants for this amazing documentary!
Absolutely stunning film but I must say this is one of the greater "horror" films of the year. This film produced a plethora of emotions. It's absolutely heartbreaking witnessing what's going on in our country. To live our lives constantly fighting for what's right.
"We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world". -Howard Zinn
So impressed and grateful for these patriots fighting for our resources. I’m inspired to act. Thank you Patagonia!
This movie is outstanding, and at a time when our environment and earth has come under attack! This is a must watch!
discorperted 🙄🙄🙄
discorperted damn.. I had no idea. I just started hitting up different places on the internet to learn more about Patagonia and it’s petroleum based products and wow.. Patagonia isn’t exactly the environmental darling it wants us believe it is.. I mean, they’ve definitely made some strides. But are they making efforts to reduce their use of petroleum? You may know more than me about this.
discorperted uhh.. okay..I just agreed with you..
discorperted wtf.. yes, Patagonia engages in questionable business practices. I agreed with you and said you may know more about this than me? Are you drunk? Why’re you flailing at me?
@@cadecampbell5059 Patagonia is as good as it gets in their business from a pro-environmental perspective. No one is perfect, but they have realized their mistakes and are at least improving.
Very well done Patagonia and all of those involved in making this film.
I especially appreciate the film highlighting the commonalities between the different user groups and recreation community. Afterall, we share 90% of the same values, but spend so much of our time infighting on the 10% of the details.
Let's unite and demand more for our public lands, let's demand the restoration of our abandoned infrastructure around mines and wells next.
This is scary. The human race can be so greedy. What other species would willingly destroy the only home they have, just for money and luxury. It’s scary that few have the power to destroy it, even when thousands are trying to protect the planet and the land
Best thing about this film, is that it represents the left and the right coming together to try to defend the land that we need to thrive. Thank you to all involved.
Thank you Patagonia! Having traveled to many of our national parks out west and experienced their vast awe-inspiring beauty, it’s critical to act now to protect our nation public land from private interests, drilling, etc for future generations.
Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations to Robert Redford, Yvon Chouiard, and everyone else involved in this marvellous groundbreaking production. A special callout for the guy who presented the piece, he is a wonderful mouthpiece for all of these problems.
Beautiful, haunting and inspiring. The only way to save our precious public lands - and our planet - is to VOTE! Thank you Patagonia.
Thanks for being a great example of what an outdoors company can do in not only raising awareness but taking action. This was video is well done and much needed right now.
I was out of town when it was screened at the film festival here in Missoula last year. I've been looking forward to seeing it since. Thanks for what you're doing to protect our public lands!
This came up as a a ad in the middle of a meateater episode I was watching. I watched the whole film as a ad and I'm glad I did
same! it came up as an ad while watching another documentary “Colonial Crimes.” was immediately fascinated with this public trust documentary so i kept watching it. by the end of the film, i felt disappointment within myself but was enlightened that as Americans we need to see the broader picture & current political climate.
Honestly, Rinella for president 2024
Mandatory viewing material for every American. Our birthright if we choose to defend it.
This is a brilliant feature film. It ventilates the greatest fret of our generation, the environment, and it does it superbly. It is a just cause which must be heard, and if necessary be re-heard again and again. Thank You!
Patagonia has become more than a clothing company to me. Whether it comes to environmental, animal or human conditions all are beautifully documented in their films. At this point wearing a Patagonia shirt is a statement on which side of history you are on. Thank you Patagonia.
@X Lo They're pretty open about where they have stuff manufactured www.patagonia.com/factories-farms-mills/. It's also not as simple as 'if they truly cared they would be made in america only.' You can also read about the selection process of who they partner with for manufacturing. It boils down to stuff like, how the workers are paid, the expertise the workers posses, the environmental responsibility of the factory, supply chains. You might be surprised, but a lot of this stuff isn't readily available in the US, you can't just flick the 'made in America' switch overnight.
@discorperted Man, who hurt you? You're getting butthurt all over this thread. What are their motives? Did you watch the movie at all, because there was no advertising, no mention of Patagonia other than the credits. Seems like their motive is 'protect public lands,' and the movie makes a pretty damning case for why that is important.
@discorperted So, the message of the film is to protect public lands, so they will be available for the public. That is you and me, not corporations. That is the natives, ranchers, and conservations whose lives depend on access to public lands. What is even your point? GrEeD aNd MoNeY, maybe stop being so vague and actually explain something, critique the movie, expand your position to something beyond sound bites because I seemingly missed the part of the film where Patagonia declares 'BUY OUR STUFF NOW.'
I'm well aware the Patagonia has to turn a profit, as with everyone else, in order to survive as a business. You're not saying anything even remotely profound or intelligent.
@discorperted Pretty sure the NPS will be fine, considering their budget is $4b and the revenue from admissions is around $200m, so I'm really not sure, again, what point you're trying to make there.
There is also a lot more than the NPS when it comes to protecting our public lands, so I'm not sure why you've been so focused on NPS in this entire thread. You do know others exist right?
Just to name a few
the Forest Service,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
the Bureau of Land Management
At this point, it is obvious you didn't watch the film, so I'm not sure why you're even bothering to comment on this at all. But, carbon taxes aren't promoted in it either. Holy shit though if they were that would be great. Lets go over what the proposed carbon tax is. Obviously it is a tax placed on the burning of fuels that release fluorinated greenhouse gases; coal, petroleum, natural gas. Those taxes are then placed into a trust that makes dividend payments to lawful US residents. So we get deterrent to use more fossil fuels which we still import a lot of, great. Influence to use cleaner energy, great. A check in the mail, great. Estimates for the average joe? $250 a year. A built in stop on the tax once carbon emission fall below desired levels, great. I see a lot of benefit to move away from fossil fuels, from a cleaner environment to breaking relations with fuck head Saudi Arabia. I'm all fucking for it. NOOOO YVON FOOL ME MORE.
You can also just read about the bill yourself instead of from whatever crazy conspiracy shit you've been watching www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/763 though it will take more than a quarter brain to comprehend it because you're going to have to be able to form your very own opinion.
And again, you're still not saying anything of value. If you just don't like Patagonia, say it. If you're just a brain damaged conspiracy nut, say it.
While we are also at it though, you may want to actually read into the GAOA, which I've seen you mention several times elsewhere, touting Trumps great achievement.
www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/3422
It is a cool bill, but you probably need to realize that it is meant for infrastructure, not conservation. 65% of the money must be spent on infrastructure, which is great and dandy, the rest can be used elsewhere with approval, but there is this little half baked bit in there where unapproved funds can be reallocated by the President which is largely bullshit.
Its a good start, and the parks need updated infrastructure, but the bill has poison pills slipped in.
@discorperted Admissions are too low, I agree, they should be about 5x more than they are if they'd kept up with inflation. Even still, that wouldn't be more than their budget so what are you trying to say, do you know what a budget is in this context? And yeah, Pat Leahy is a piece of shit, so what are you trying to say, did he make this film, did I endorse him? Is his theft somehow related to protecting public lands from transfer to private entities, cause you know, that film you didn't watch is pretty much about that.
I'm also well aware that most trails are maintained by volunteer organizations, so what are you trying to say? That is generally work that parks never do, if they could that would be cool but volunteers do a pretty great job.
And what thoughts did I copy and paste, can you point them out? Or are you just saying random things because you don't have an actual point to make and no rebuttal or input on the things I said? Have you never been challenged before on anything you've said? Because you come across as a moron repeating the same nonsense over and over. You aren't even following the conversation, answering any questions, or providing any real points. Literally nothing you've said has anything to do with the film. Reminder, this thread is about the film. I can repeat that a couple more times if you still haven't grasped it.
Like this has been fun and all, I enjoy talking to idiots every now and then, but you know you're really leaving this as a one sided conversation and wasting my time.
Wow, I can't wait to see this. Thank you again Patagonia for using your voice and reach, and taking a stand!!!!
This is a must see for every American...send a link to all your friends
A heartbreaking, must see doc. I can see, feel, hear the urgency to unite in this fight to protect our public lands. Thank you for this film.
This is chilling. The fact that I live in the same country as people who want to destroy this sacred land makes me outraged. Theses politicians have no place in politics if they are only going to make changes for money and greed. We need to protect the Indigenous Land, and people. Their whole culture and background has been on that land for hundreds of thousands of years. They deserve to have their land and culture protected.
Well done Patagonia! Let's get out and vote to protect our land.
I'm glad I support this company, standing on the right side of history.
And supporting cheap labor in Patagonia Chinese factories.
@@brianjoldersma9301 do you knit your own clothing then?
@@alexmilley2069 lol
i believe this as a fisherman, mountain biker, and trail runner i am naturally a environmentalist/conservationist. I live in Miami, FL so the only piece of public land i have is Everglades national park and Bill Bags. I have spent my whole life exploring and visiting these lands. I'm not the average city dweller. I don't go out to the clubs at night or to the expensive restaurants. I'm out with my bike or fishing rod. I can't imagine those opportunities being taken away from me or having to pay to do what i love and have been doing for free. I would like to thank Patagonia for making this film and informing me on the dangers to our lands.
i feel like i know the overall awfulness and importance of this topic but having it laid out and sectioned with specifics in a comprehensive timeline really highlights how insidious and intentional large corporations have been in manipulating our government and the public to enrich themselves with no regard for the destruction they cause to the land and the people who live there
first hour+ ad I've ever watched all the way through and i hope more people see this
I can't even begin to express the feelings I feel toward @patagonia for caring so much to share with so many of us the importance of protecting our BLM land and to see the real threat that faces those who's lives depend on it. I am ready to start helping in any way I am able
I'm a sophomore at UW-Madison in the School of Business and frankly I care far more about this issue than my major. If anyone has any projects or ideas they are working on, i'd gladly jump on board! Let's live as parts of nature, not as its rulers.
I will support the Gwich’in. I will drive up there and do whatever it takes. I am truly disgusted by the politicians and people of Alaska NOT protecting the indigenous people of this land.
Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina!. We are suffering similar problems, thank you to show and hightlights this situation which is shared by differents countries. People fights against the big oil, mining companies, and all dirty agreements between private interest and government policies. All of them have the same purpuse, damage the enviroment and local people.... !!! Saddly .....
Indigenous property rights should have been enforced. It is public ownership of land and it's leasing/mismanagement that harms the land, the animals, and the people.
Its ok dear, as Madonna once sang a 🎵 don't cry for me Argentina. She wrote that song because she had so many fans in 🇨🇱
@@ronpaulrevered that is right, but corruption at all levels of public and private power is higher ... and even national laws are violated. it's awful.!!
@discorperted Patagonia is a large region, with great natural beauties, and indigenous communities, which have been historically displaced from their ancestral lands by the economic interests of power groups. Wealth does not remain in local communities or cities, it is taken away by foreign or Argentine companies and corrupt governments, unfortunately. A few people became rich, ordinary citizens continuos working to live.
VOTE. Your vote can change everything; do not waste it. It is maddening to see such greed, negligence and corruption. As humans we know this is wrong and we live in a democracy; we have the power to change everything. I wish people would realize the power that we truly have and how important it is to protect what is here.
❤ Losing your land and free open spaces is never easy, drinking water and clean air along with freedom of being and living in environment is what many understand only when moving to urban areas.
Doing good for environment is what makes only sense. Some of the most rewarding jobs are in protection of wildlife and natural resources.
Power to the Gwich'in and other natives suffering at the hands of the greedy, money-hungry capitalist. Thank you Hal and othersfor your dedication to our lands.
Finger pointing and division isn’t the message. Unity is the point.
I love to consider Yvon Chouinard as my inspirational mentor, and since then I've been promoting these important concepts in the jewellery industry. In particular I'm keen to share his talks during my lectures in the MA in Luxury Jewellery Management.
Thanks Rose Marcario for having promoted so significantly his vision.
So well done and inspiring. All our futures depend on these lands and our natural world.
What I find scary is the degree to which the public gets deceived and manipulated. Here we see it happening with our public lands. Our politicians sell out to big industry, but what other ways are they selling out. Look at our country, look at our world. Something is very wrong right now. I feel it deeply, the alarm bells are ringing but I can’t identify the danger through all the smoke and mirrors.
Notice how they create a massive movement occupying the information space of the acronym BLM.
Just shared this all over! Save public lands! Climbing on oil wells isn't appealing.
All Americans should watch and think about this before casting a ballot. It is time to put differences aside, we are all human and we all live on the same planet and we should all be bound to protect it
I am excited for this! As an Alaskan this really hits home for me. Don Young is someone who needs to leave my state for good.
I have a feeling he needs to leave way more than just your state. We would just be better off without him or people like him in the world. Just saying.
We the people! 🔥👊🔥
Thank you for everything you do, Land!
Stoked to be in the arena together! #gofightwin
Keep producing content that alerts the public to these issues
To all these people who dare to fight. Thanks! From my heart, thank you! You are amazing! 🌻
I'd like to just acknowledge Woody Guthrie, the writer of This Land is Your Land, played during the credits. I wanted to transcribe here the original lyrics of his song, first written in 1940. Note the political acuity of the 4th and 5th verses, about private property and public hunger, respectively. Those original verses are not included in today's version of the song that we as Americans learn in school at a young age, but they remain a prescient reminder from 80 years ago, that the struggle we face to protect public lands persists now and will persist generations from now.
1.
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From the California to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
2.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
And saw above me that endless skyway,
And saw below me the golden valley, I said:
This land was made for you and me.
3.
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts,
And all around me, a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
4.
Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: Private Property,
But on the back side it didn't say nothing -
This land was made for you and me.
5.
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling;
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting:
This land was made for you and me.
6.
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple
By the Relief Office I saw my people -
As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if
This land was made for you and me.
Thk you for sharing that
This looks like a well put together documentary with a message that needs to be viewed/heard/understood. I’m excited to watch it and even more elated to share it with others.
Peace and respect. 🙏🏻
respect
Patagonia thank you for making this important and humbling message open and available for all. It’s works of art like this that will cajole our generation to take action.
The outdoors are a great equalizer. As soon as we have to start charging for that, it will no longer be equal. We MUST vote and use our voices to ensure everyone can get outside and enjoy these special places.
Thank you Patagonia for creating this film. It was very informative and deeply needed. Lets work together to protect our public lands!
I just returned from 6 weeks in Alaska, a lot of it spent north of the Arctic circle...It's absolutely incredible and we must preserve it for future generations!
Can we also preserve it for the wildlife who lives there? I think we often put ourselves humans at the center of it all. Bringing people to wild areas is not necessarily a good thing for wilderness.
@@NoellePlat I completely agree...When I say 'preserve' it, I mean for the animals...Humans, unless you are part of the native communities, we have no business up yonder
Thank you for sharing this story, I really appreciate the depth of the story and all the explanations of all the various players in this ongoing conflict. I agree public lands should remain public, the world is becoming a lot smaller and without all these amazing public lands we lose our recreational lands, our history and our spaces where we can quietly reflect on life and all it's wonders
Great documentary! Thank you for educating us!!! This is so important and we all need to be aware of the current situation and the danger of loosing our public lands. Again, thank you
Another stellar film. Thanks Patagonia, I hope we can inspire all the citizens to protect their lands.
Thank you for the kind words and support!
Wonderhussy Adventures hits the nail on the head with her reflections- neo-liberal capitalism and our cultivated consumer addiction is the root cause- are we ready to reinvent economy, society, and the very human soul? what an adventure! good luck to all!
I purchased a Patagonia shirt in Colorado this past week after an unsuccessful elk hunt, and I will be wearing that shirt proudly. Well done.
Great film. Although now I’ve started my Saturday absolutely pissed.
So well done. Full of amazing scenery of our most beautiful public lands. But, most importantly, it tells the story of the threat our public lands are under. We have to fight to protect them or they won't be beautiful or public in the very near future.
Thank you to all those involved the the making and distribution of this film. Bless you all!
This should be used by professors across the world. As a Canadian, I understand the fight to protect public lands and reconciliation is somewhat progressing, still needs a lot of work. Thank you Patagonia! Of all the companies in the world I am always so excited by anything you do. #respect
Public lands should never be for sale to be privatized.
Truly inspiring movie telling a motivating and heart felt story. This reignited my passion for our worlds heritage and natural beauty. #keepitpublic (from the UK)
Greetings from Canada! What an amazing documentary, so sad. Please America vote, vote, vote.! Protect your public lands and let the people who live there and know about land management preserve what is theirs.
Share far and wide! Everyone should be aware what is at stake not just for us but future generations. Vote accordingly!
Patagonia does a great job at providing wonderful products for enjoying and exploring the great outdoors. Not only that, but they also make sure the next generation has a great outdoors left to explore. Their numerous campaigns about regenerative farming and preserving habitats are all having an impact by raising awareness. UPDATE: This comment of mine originally said, simply, "Second" to convey "I'm second in the queue" since I joined the queue at that time but now I've updated the comment.
I shared with all my friends, I hope everyone does the same. This needs to be seen by all Americans.
My hope is that the good people of Utah who value quiet and land stewardship more than extraction will rise up and turn the political table completly upside down, setting a new standard for public land protection and wellness for places all over the USA. Go Utes!
I've shared this SO many times and I'm sharing it again... Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Although this is based in America but similar issues echo in every major country in the world. Keep defending!
Defend our public lands! Awesome film Patagonia and crew!
I mean I knew but I didn't really know until all the pieces were put together in this heart wrenching documentary. As a Utahn I have watched the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante land grab unfold. I had no idea how insidious it truly is. And now we face hundreds of drilling leases that are up for sale on our public lands. I am hopeful that the legal system will prove to be a win on the pretense that a President does not have the right to take away from the Antiquities Act, only to add. It's basic but it makes sense..
Dear Patagonia. Thank you for sharing and caring about our land 😢🙌😊
Great documentary. I don’t think people have an equal chance to access these spaces and I think that could be a factor in why some people don’t care about this tragic loss. How can you feel the loss of something abstract that you’ve never experienced?
Hey Phil, I'm the producer of this film. This comment rings very true for me in my experience. In fact it is worth noting that not everyone has felt welcome or safe in and around public lands. There are many historically oppressed people in our communities that have not experienced public lands in the positive ways many of us have. We need to double down on making sure public lands ARE for everyone and work to increase inclusivity. "In the end conserve only what ; only what understand; and understand only what taught." (, 1968.)
"When you unite, they have to listen" that's why so much time and money is spent to keep us divided.
In addition, you ignite the fire in our exile to take action. Now show us the way, to help. This doc lit the torch,but it’s already been burning and those of us who can see have seen for a long time. It’s not enough to see, we must get involved.
Thank You, Public lands are Americas best feature
Thanks Patagonia for making this film and raising awareness 🙏🏻 Have donated to the causes that can be supported from Europe. Wondering why it’s not released via Netflix? I can imagine reaching a much wider audiece and thus awareness via a platform like that.
Patagonia manufactures outdoor apparel by working with 45 suppliers and factories. It sources from 14 countries including Vietnam, Thailand, China, Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh. I would like to see a documentary about the working conditions on those countries working for this great company. The irony here... It's a company with an agenda as well. Think why are they doing docs about climate and things related to their products...
This is where the concept of 'owning land' gets you.
The greatest resource a country has is Nature. It can't be expressed in $ on a bankaccount. In the end it will be expressed in gratitude from our children when we preserve it. That's priceless.
Please share this with everyone. We need to All work together to protect nature! More companies need to listen and stand with what we all hold sacred. Well done @patagonia
