Help us make the movie!!
Before YouTube, Podcasting & Livestreaming, before social media, smart phones and AI, “the whole world was watching Tooker TV – almost”.
1997 – 2004 was a time of hope and change, war and Y2K. This is a window into history, his story, OUR story.
We are uncovering, archiving and logging 600 hours of historical footage by and about one of Canada’s most daring and courageous environmental leaders – Tooker Gomberg.
Now with your help we’re making the movie. Please make a tax-deductible donation below.
Tooker connects the dots from civic politics to global social justice, climate change and war. His recordings span a large geography – Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Washington, New York, San Francisco, Kyoto, The Netherlands, Vietnam, China, and many points in between. A majority of this footage has never been seen, until now.
Dozens of well-known politicians, scientists, authors, academics, entertainers, advocates and activists feature throughout, as well as hundreds of everyday folk from around the world. We’re only one-third through logging the tapes, and already we’ve found interviews with Bill McKibbon, Jack Layton, Amory Lovins, Weibo Ludwig, and David Suzuki. Some footage will be earmarked for government and academic archives. Clips are being posted during the discovery process so you can follow along with us on the Tooker Tapes playlist (youtube).
Produced by Tooker’s surviving spouse, Angela Bischoff, the project is directed by filmmaker and friend, Kelly Green.
All donors will get a screen credit on the documentary, and we’ll keep you in the loop on the development of the project.
