People’s Climate March

By


On September 21st, 2014 the largest gathering of climate change supporters descended on New York City. 400,000 bodies marched from central park to the lower west side protesting against greenhouse gas emitting industry. Interlock’s director Jonathan Schwartz and Toronto-based videographer/photographer Caitlin McManus took hundreds of pictures for Thomas Watkins, who was heading up the UN’s press effort that day, starting at dawn with the caucus of indigenous peoples. Watkins, who has traveled as a reporter for Interlock and was a top newsman at CNN for fifteen years, interviewed marchers from all backgrounds, trying to understand why they were marching and what they wanted this march to accomplish. Check out a couple of images from the march below!

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...
