What happens when there's a breakthrough? When, spontaneously, young people innovate and turn back what appears to be unstoppable catastrophe? Legion 44 chronicles these visionaries, many from the Global South, who have invented groundbreaking solutions to reverse climate disruption. Our film shows we can indeed make everything right again. We start with the cautionary tale of Tuvalu that amidst global inaction and rising seas, is putting themselves into the metaverse to preserve their culture. To which emerges our Legion, who answer the call and invent carbon removal. Building from the basic science of rocks, water and carbon, the film takes off and we see how human ingenuity can keep Tuvalu and other low-lying lands from going under. Legion 44 at times incorporates montages that shows a world distracted and so depressed that they have given up. But our heroes persist on. This Legion is highly collaborative and from all walks of life and backgrounds. We journey to the Hajar mountains in Oman, to the vulnerable islands of Tuvalu, to the Rift Valley in Kenya, to the Southern Sahara in Morocco, to the Sargassum-rich seas of St. Vincent. Legion 44 is more than a film, it is a love letter to humanity, and the 3rd film on climate by Leila Conners. With Walton Goggins as narrator, his heartfelt compassion supports this tone. Conners works with Bosnian cinematographer Harun Mehmedinovic and his choice of anamorphic lenses to show collaboration in context. Legion 44 included Sun Creature from Denmark/France to build graphics that joyfully show the inner workings of the science. And most poignant, Marc Streitenfeld's strong score tinged with hope and yearning is a main pillar in our journey given that, will the world accept this pathway and scale in time? Conners has followed humanity's struggle with climate for over 20 years--first with The 11th Hour, then with Ice on Fire. Now she brings Legion 44 at a pivotal moment: will we inspire real action to fix climate once and for all?

Gorbachev was the architect of the end of the Cold War and had the
audacity to think that peace between the former Soviet Union / Russia and the West was possible. We made a film about the conditions for peace the emerged at the end of the 1980s with Gorbachev and other Cold Warriors.
Their message of peace was embodied in our film The Arrow of Time. http://www.n2k.world/thearrowoftime
This statement by Gorbachev is his message to the audience at the premier
of the film at the Zürich International Film Festival in 2017. Already ailing then, he left his doctors to issue this urgent message, a message that asked for international cooperation with the objective of peace. It is so prescient
and hence why we republish it now.
Leila Conners interviews John Todd about the inspiration behind the water machine and how it works. John Todd was inspired by the interaction of the multitudes of life in the waters around Cape Cod, where he grew up. From that inspiration he invented the water machine, or the ecomachine...also known as a living machine. What the water machine does is use sunlight and a system of vats that contain plants, algae, bacteria, fish, snails...the multitudes...to cleanse polluted water. So in one end runs the polluted water, and out the other flows water free of metals, pollutants and is of the quality of drinking water.
James Durocher, of the Florida Rights of Nature Network, walks us through their current battle to save their rights of nature work in Florida. After passing an extraordinary law by 89% of the vote, from across the political spectrum, the state legislature preempted the will of the people. James details their back and forth and how they intend to save their work which protects Floridian springs, water and waterways.

The boldest move in the Nature Rights Movement to date is led by a young Inuit, Patricia Johnson-Castle, a Nunatsiavummiuk and Co-chair of the Social Justice Co-op of Newfoundland and Labrador. They are bringing the rights of nature to the Atlantic Ocean in the city of St. John, Newfoundland & Labrador which means that they can bring suit if the Atlantic Ocean is impacted by pollution...like pollution that leads to climate disruption. This is meaningful, powerful action.

Leila Conners speaks with Beatrice Fihn about the pathway to rid the world of nuclear weapons. As Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Beatrice lead the way to the creation of The U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which passed January 22, 2021. ICAN won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. Nuclear escalation was already underway prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and with the war in Europe, the issue of denuclearization is now more urgent than ever. Beatrice believes that a world free of nuclear weapons is possible if we stigmatize nuclear weapons and make it difficult to possess them. Her pragmatic optimism just might make it so.
Professor Joseph S. Nye, Jr. is University Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus and former Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. In a recent survey of international relations scholars, he was ranked as the most influential scholar on American foreign policy. In a wide-ranging conversation, Leila Conners speaks with Professor Nye on the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its impact on the world order. The discussion covers the Ukrainian use of soft-power in opposing the hard power advance of the Russians as well as the ability of the United States to continue to project power in light of an emerging China. In all of these movements, the Ukrainians continue to suffer the worst as the tragedy continues to unfold as the West does what it can without igniting a nuclear exchange.
Professor Alexander Likhotal updates Leila Conners in a second conversation about the Russian invasion in Ukraine. He discusses Putin's mistakes and the reasons for Putin's miscalculations; as well the existential path all Russians find themselves on as the horrific loss of human life continues in Ukraine.
Vijay Vaitheeswaran, The Global Energy & Climate Innovation Editor of The Economist, speaks with Leila Conners about the impact the war in Ukraine is having on the energy system, international alliances and on the ability of the world to achieve its climate goals. Given that oil and gas are fungible assets, the sanctions are tricky. In addition, given that countries, even green countries like Germany, have not yet installed enough renewable energy to fill in the energy gap from a stoppage of Russian oil and gas; there is a new fall-back to fossil fuels, now endangering global goals to mitigate climate disruption.
Professor Alexander Likhotal is half Russian and half Ukrainian. He speaks with Leila Conners about the tragedy of the Russian invasion and its profound impact on the world order, which is changing rapidly in response to the invasion. Going beyond the NATO conversation, Likhotal walks us through detailed information about what Russia is undergoing under a plausibly ailing Putin, the transfer of power and what Russia, Ukraine and the world can do to create an enduring peace.
Likhotal served as a European Security analyst for the leadership of the Soviet Union. In 1991, he was appointed Deputy Spokesman and Advisor to USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev. After President Gorbachev’s resignation, Alexander served as his advisor and spokesman at the Gorbachev Foundation and served as President of the International Green Cross. Alexander is a member of the the Club of Rome, on the Board of Trustees of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, of the World Academy of Art and Science, a Councillor at the World Future Council, and serves as adviser to the Club of Madrid. Leila Conners spoke with Alexander on February 28, 2022.
In this discussion with Leila Conners, Jane Davidson tells the story of how one small nation responded to global climate issues by radically rethinking public policy for future generations. Based on her new book, #futuregen.
In #futuregen, Jane Davidson explains how, as Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing in Wales, she proposed the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015—the first piece of legislation on Earth to place regenerative and sustainable practice at the heart of government. Unparalleled in its scope and vision, the Act connects environmental and social health and looks to solve complex issues such as poverty, education and unemployment.
Davidson reveals how and why such groundbreaking legislation was forged in Wales—once reliant on its coal, iron and steel industries—and explores how the shift from economic growth to sustainable growth is creating new opportunities for communities and governments all over the world.
#futuregen is the inspiring story of a small, pioneering nation discovering prosperity through its vast natural beauty, renewable energy resources and resilient communities. It’s a living, breathing prototype for local and global leaders as proof of what is possible in the fight for a sustainable future.
Jeremy Narby, anthropologist and author of the Cosmic Serpent, is back with a new book, Plant Teachers: Ayahuasca, Tobacco, and the Pursuit of Knowledge. Leila Conners catches up with Jeremy in a discussion that compares scientific western concepts with Amazonian indigenous concepts of the natural world. Both these systems of thought are closer to each other than one would expect if one approaches these plants and their Amazonian interlocutors with an open mind.

Mari Margil, of the Center for Democracy and Environmental Rights (CDER), discusses how the rights of natures has evolved, from the first law implemented in 2008 to laws implemented in constitutions and state frameworks covering updates from Ecuador, Switzerland, India and the United States. She also reveals what it means to be "rights bearing" and how "legal naturehood" is probably a better framework.

Thomas Linzey of The Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) is helping to build a global movement to advance the rights of nature into law. In this primer, Thomas brings us through the basic concepts of nature rights.
Diane Young Kim of the USC Wrigley Institute on Catalina Island, California, walks us through the work on growing kelp on "kelp elevators" thus increasing their biomass, thus solving the "kelp to fuel supply chain." Rather than digging up ancient sunlight, this is a fuel created from current sunlight.

Christopher gives N2K our first Witness account from Myanmar. Having undergone a military coup in February 1, 2021, the people of Myanmar are starting to protest. N2K will check in with Chris to see how the country is faring and if they can restore democracy.
Mary Bricker-Jenkins discusses a clash between theory and reality when it comes to efforts to end poverty. In her experience, the movement must contend with the real power of the 1%. We are all at risk she says, but there are enormous opportunities.
Leila Conners discusses direct air capture (DAC) with Climeworks' Director and Founder, Christoph Gebald. Direct air capture pulls carbon out of the sky and turns it into feedstock for a multitude of applications including carbon negative fuels. DAC can also pull carbon out of the sky and permanently sequester it in the ground and Climeworks is doing that in Iceland.
Bren Smith of Greenwave gives us the update on kelp and kelp farming. The power of kelp to drawdown carbon is just one aspect of Bren's work. Kelp and ocean farming also creates jobs and also provides feedstock for innovations like bioplastic and fertilizer.
