Director James Anaquad Kleinert’s films investigate the heart of American Indian culture, Western environmentalism, activism and spirituality. His work brings attention to the desperate plight of America's iconic Wild Horses, as multi-national corporate greed strips away their legal and environmental protections - and ours. James has been described as one of the most revealing, hard-hitting Western documentary filmmakers in the last 10 years. Kleinert is currently in post-production of Mustangs & Renegades: A Modern Day Western, and on Transformation, a profound journey transcending the destructive fossil fuel age to the regenerative Green Economy. Much of Transformation was filmed in Norway, Sweden and at the 2015 COP Paris Climate Summit.
