INVISIBLE HAND – Rights Of Nature Documentary

Invisible Hand is a documentary that explores the Rights of Nature movement, which seeks to grant legal rights to ecosystems. The film features cases such as Grant Township, Pennsylvania, where residents enacted laws to protect their watershed from fracking waste, and Toledo, Ohio, where citizens passed the Lake Erie Bill of Rights to safeguard the lake from pollution. It highlights the growing demand for legal frameworks that prioritize ecological health over corporate interests, and the grassroots efforts challenging traditional legal systems to recognize nature as a rights-bearing entity.
