RegenTO is happy to collaborate with the Water Docs Film Festival to showcase the newest and best environmental documentaries from around the world.
For over 10 years, Water Docs Film Festival has been delivering environmental education to build pathways for meaningful change.
“We dedicate ourselves to protecting water and a liveable climate, using documentary storytelling and experiential learning to revive a sense of reverence, address threats and stir action.” — Founder Stan Gibson
We hosted an engaging discussion with noted environmentalist, entrepreneur and author Paul Hawken, creator of Project Drawdown and founder of the important new Regeneration initiative, with three exciting conversation partners: Bryanna R. Brown, Allie Rougeot, and Melanie Hoffman.

This event showcases Paul Hawken’s new book Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis in One Generation, a compelling and practical response to the urgency of the climate crisis. We invite you to visit the new website Regeneration.org to learn more. It builds on his 2017 book Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warning, a rigorous scientific research project to map, model and measure existing solutions with the potential to help humanity reach ‘drawdown’ by 2050 - the point in time when the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere begins to decline year after year.
As Paul says, ”Regeneration has two meanings. It refers to regenerating life on earth. And it refers to a new generation of humanity coming together to reverse global warming.”
This 90-minute event features Paul Hawken in conversation with three important and exciting Canadian environmental voices - Allie Rougeot (co-founder of Fridays For Future Toronto and a program manager at Environmental Defence) and Bryanna R. Brown (Inuk Community Support Worker and Indigenous rights and climate justice activist at Indigenous Climate Action), and Drawdown Alberta’s co-founder Melanie Hoffman (Program Manager at the Alberta Council for Environmental Education). We are inspired by the unique experiences and perspectives each of them brings to the discussion.
