Canal 22 Internacional Celebrates Earth Day

THEMA America and Canal 22 Internacional, Mexico’s cultural channel in the U.S., are celebrating Earth Day by airing specially selected programming to raise awareness of problems related to climate change among the U.S. Spanish-speaking community.

Among the titles airing in honor of Earth Day are Endgame 2050: Humanity’s Last Chance is Now, produced and directed by Mexican researcher and filmmaker Sofia Pineda Ochoa and Robert Rapfogel; Humboldt en México: La Mirada del Explorador (Humboldt in Mexico: The Gaze of the Explorer), from filmmaker Ana Cruz; Ecosystems, produced and directed by Deyanira Almazán Medina; and Friendly Planet, from director Adam Roland.

“At Canal 22 Internacional, we take seriously all actions that can contribute to positively changing the habits and the history of our planet,” said Orissa Castellanos, executive director of Canal 22 Internacional. “This month we have the opportunity to raise awareness among the Spanish-speaking audience with programming dedicated to Mother Nature. Now, it’s time to act before it’s too late and to mobilize toward a more sustainable future, building a healthier home for people and wildlife.”
