A 30-minute film featuring three dramatic case studies of how individuals in India, Slovakia and Kenya have contributed to solving local environmental problems. Narrated by Meryl Streep, and featuring interviews with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and other experts, the film's primary message is that even one person's action can make a dramatic difference. This prize-winning film was produced by the Earth Council in cooperation with UNDP and UNEP, and supported by Soka Gakkai International (SGI).
