Deep Ecology delves into the profound interconnectedness of our personal and collective grief with the ecological and systemic crises engulfing our planet. At its heart lies the transformative practice of community acknowledgment and expression—rituals where participants confront their suppressed emotions about environmental destruction, societal collapse, and the pervasive "meta-crisis" threatening life as we know it.

Drawing inspiration from the work of visionaries like Joanna Macy, Stephen Jenkinson, and John Seed, the film explores how communal grief becomes a catalyst for empowerment. Through raw, unfiltered testimonials, intimate gatherings, and moments of shared vulnerability, participants discover that their sorrow, anger, and fear are not signs of despair but profound expressions of love for the Earth. This realization ignites a fierce energy—a shared passion to take meaningful action.

Deep Ecology invites viewers on a journey of reconnection, showing that beneath the weight of our despair lies a wellspring of hope, solidarity, and purpose. The film challenges us to embrace our grief, not as a burden, but as a bridge to the deep love and commitment necessary to protect and preserve the intricate web of life.

The real Deep State is Mother Nature.

A film by Peter Charles Downey 

Featuring John Seed, Stephen Jenkinson, Claire Dunn, Joanna Macy, Thomas Berry, Arne Naess, Aladdin Jones, Wirrunngga and more.
