Citizen Ruth: Environmental Warrior

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

This 96-year-old Boulder environmental warrior has the bruises to show from the more than 60 years of battles she fought, and the passion that carried her through the losses and the successes. Citizen Ruth is the compelling personal story of an extraordinary environmental activist and state legislator, and the journey into some of her remarkable accomplishments in the face of many challenges. How did she do it? Her unique mix of passion, persistence, and personal relationships is essential. As opposed to current times where partisan politics keep adversaries from working together, the relationships the “Mother of the Greenbelts” built with everyone shows it is not only possible, but often the key to success.
