HOW TO CHANGE THE WORLD (Jerry Rothwell, 110 minutes) | In 1971, a group of friends sail into a nuclear test zone, and their protest captures the world’s imagination. Using never before seen archive that brings their extraordinary world to life, How To Change The World is the story of the pioneers who founded Greenpeace and defined the modern green movement.

Prior to arriving on the west coast, Eduardo worked as Ontario-Quebec Regional Organizer for the Council of Canadians on public policy issues related to healthcare, water, trade and Canada-US relations.
