Climate change is a fact. Have we made as much progress as we thought? Will the Paris Accords hold? Is climate change at the root of the Syrian conflict and the refugee crisis?  Is Secretary of State (and former ExxonMobil CEO) Rex Tillerson actually the moderating influence on Trump Administration climate change deniers like EPA head Scott Pruitt? Is radical activism the answer or is it simply too late? In this incisive interview, author and journalist Wen Stephenson investigates new twists in the Trump era on climate change and the repercussions for democracy, social justice and human rights.


Climate Media Engine: An Interview with Wen Stephenson

Climate Media Engine (CME) is a website that investigates groundbreaking stories on climate change and the movement that surrounds it. CME was launched by Jonathan Schwartz, Director of Interlock Media, at the Climate Treaty Negotiations (COP21) in Paris.

Stephenson, author of  What We’re Fighting For Now is Each Other, is a writer for  The Nation and local eco-hero. He was a former editor at The Boston Globe, and a producer at NPR and writer for the on-line version of FRONTLINE before he decided to dedicate himself exclusively to climate activism and authorship. In 2012, he helped launch the grassroots climate-action network  350 Massachusetts.

A talented crew including Director of Photography Johann Grimm, Gaffer Tony Ventura and Sound Mixer Aaron Bouchard came together to film the interview with Stephenson. Journalist Nikita Sampath and Producer Christian Carvajal worked on researching the subject and planning the shoot, with the talented help of Breton Worthington and Fionna Howes.


We extend a thousand thanks to Ken Kinna for his editorial talents, to Dylan Ganz and Mandy Kowara for their musical acumen, to Wen Stephenson, and to the Muzila family.

Climate Change Treaty Activities COP 21 Paris

By
Interlock Media goes on-location for historic treaty negotiations. Director Jonathan Schwartz, “Fixer” Carla Diamond, and videographer Walter Hergt were in Paris for the dramatic last days of the climate treaty negotiations.  In addition, they captured the grand finale, a massive victory celebration at the foot of the Eiffel Tower.  Reporting on impacts of global warming and human rights since the 1980s it is fitting that Interlock Media was able to participate in this historic occasion.   The team  took a deep look as well at the alternative activist movements that converged on Paris in December, including direct action militants, non-violent protesters, indigenous leaders, and members of  “Makers” collectives.  The Makers represent some of the best and brightest young entrepreneurs and engineers in Europe and the States. They stoutly believe that the devices that they are making together, such as self-cleansing showers and a dollar a year water f...
