SAVING WALDEN'S WORLD SCREENING AND FESTIVAL TOUR CONTINUES TO NYC FOR UN's SUMMIT FOR THE FUTURE

The UN's Summit for the Future is the current event bringing director Jim Merkel to NYC for a screening of the award winning documentary Saving Walden's World. Behind him are the many wonderful festivals and screenings that Jim attended in August as he sailed the beautiful coast of Maine on his Sailing for Sustainability Tour, with the goal of arriving to each location without the use of fossil fuels. There's been packed houses, great audience reaction, lively conversations, and some great after-parties!

Saving Walden's World features Jim, a recovering military engineer as he explores societies that accomplished many of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals decades ahead of the 2030 targets, including greatly reducing poverty while enhancing gender equality.

Do you live in or near NYC, then come see the film that is taking international film festivals by storm at DCTV in the Firehouse on Monday, September 23, just in time for Climate Week and the UN Summit for the Future. "Saving Walden's World" is now in thirteen international film festivals, garnering seven awards, (so far)!

Jim is honored to be joined by co-director & 2-TIME OSCAR WINNER Deborah Shaffer, and Pedro Martin Navarro, for this special event. Deborah Shaffer was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement at DOCNYC in 2023. Deborah and Pedro both contributed significantly to the film, especially on the ground filming in Cuba. Learn about Jim's studies in countries where sustainability and women's empowerment are joining together to bring positive, progressive change.
