Global Warming Documentary Sponsored by Hedge Fund Trio
Jeremy Grantham of GMO, Chris Hohn of The Children's Investment Fund Management, and Steve Mandel of Lone Pine Capital are giving millions of dollars to try and change Wall Street missing the biggest economic risk in the world.
Each
elite investor has given at least $1.5 million to back a new
documentary series focused on the ramifications of global warming,
"Years of Living Dangerously," which premiered on Showtime April 13.
The
series is a collaboration with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
"Titanic" and "Avatar" director James Cameron, former United Artists
head Jerry Weintraub, and actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger
are among the executive producers. Each episode features celebrity
correspondents such as Matt Damon, Harrison Ford, Jessica Alba and
Leslie Stahl.
The
project blends journalism with activism. Created by former "60 Minutes"
producers Joel Bach and David Gelber, the "Years" series tries to show
the "current and intensifying effects of climate change on everyday
Americans and demonstrate how they can take action and be part of the
solution," according to promotional materials.
