It has won numerous awards at film festivals. Past recipients of the Eco-Hero Award include Robert Redford, David Suzuki, Margaret Atwood, Robert Bateman and astronaut Chris Hadfield.

    Although not unique as director, in those two films at least,still you can be considered as God’s Will to use a man for His purposes on Earth.You are unreplacable as to show subjects in Ecology with sensitivity,insight power and through the character of a leader(which you owe to us to be acted with responsibility).
