Nice surprise. “The Burning Season” (Spanish subtitles) — HBO film based on my 1990 book, directed by the late great John Frankenheimer and starring Raul Julia, Edward James Olmos, Luis Guzman and more —  is posted on YouTube (for now at least). Sadly not on DVD or Netflix so watch it here while you can. 

"In the environmental movement, our defeats are always final, our victories always provisional. What you save today can still be destroyed tomorrow, you see - and so often is."

— Jose Lutzenberger 1992 quote, recalled on @dotearth.
