Quotes from academic scholars:
"Above All Else tells a really important story, the story of one of the crucial fountain heads of resistance to the fossil fuel industry as folks came down across the heartland, bringing this pipe behind them, thinking they were going to run this pipeline easily to the Gulf...they sure didn't expect people in Texas were going to stand up and people did stand up. Their resistance was remarkable, it gave heart to people around the country and around the world, as we take on this industry and try to show how its depredations are wrecking people, places, communities around the world. There's no clearer example, no firmer example of standing up than what's been going on along the route of Keystone South. So many thanks to the people that stood up there, and so many thanks to these filmmakers for chronicling that story so it can be used to inspire people in every corner of this planet, in the greatest fight we've ever gotten into."
-Bill McKibben Schumman Distinguished Scholar in Environmental Studies, Middlebury College, Founder, 350.org, Author, The End of Nature
“In Above All Else, John Fiege tells the story of reluctant activist David Daniel with quiet intensity. The film is unforgettable -- beautiful, troubling, and hopeful."
-Adam Rome Professor of History and English, University of Delaware, Author, The Genius of Earth Day: How a 1970 Teach-In Unexpectedly Made the First Green Generation “The film brings to life the inspiring stories of everyday people striving to protect their land, families, and livelihoods from the Keystone XL pipeline. The struggle against the pipeline has emerged as one of the galvanizing issues for the growing climate movement. At once provocative and enraging, Above All Else is most of all a haunting and beautiful film.”
-Robert Wilson Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Syracuse University, Author, Seeking Refuge: Birds and Landscapes of the Pacific Flyway
