A former theater director, avant-garde filmmaker, and an anti-fracking activist, he has made films that explore environmental and social injustices including Gas Land (for which he won an Emmy award and was nominated for an Academy Award that same year), How to Let Go of the World, Gas Land II, and The Truth Has Changed.
