About the film: Stewart Lee Udall was the most prominent and effective Secretary of the Interior in American history, with a legacy of conservation and environmental justice. Udall called on all Americans to move away from our emphasis on economic growth and consumerism and toward quality of life, and a new politics centered on beauty, frugal living, appreciation of nature and the arts, and a recognition of the Earth’s limits. Also highlighted is his long fight to win compensation for Navajo Indians and "downwinders" who acquired cancer from their exposure to radiation during the Cold War atomic bomb testing.
