James Cameron and Elvis Mitchell discuss the environmental message of Avatar (part 1)

Before an enthusiastic audience of 470 NRDC supporters, Cameron screened excerpts of Avatar and then spoke with Elvis Mitchell, host of The Treatment on KCRW 89.9 FM, about the environmental message of his Oscar nominated, sci-fi blockbuster. The talk happened on Feb.22, 2010.

Cameron said that Avatar, which has been attacked by right-wing commentators, was meant to grab audiences by the heart and motivate them to defend the natural world. Just as in Avatar, Cameron said, all of Earths creatures must work together to meet the challenges of global warming and ocean acidification.
