The Accidental Environmentalist

THE ACCIDENTAL ENVIRONMENTALIST tells the story of John Wathen, whose personal brush with toxic chemicals transformed him from an average Alabama native to an internationally recognized environmentalist. You can watch the full film on Yahoo’s Viewfinder series.

The film was made in partnership with the Southern Environmental Law Center’s Southern Exposure Mediamaking Fellowship.
