“The ocean remembers what we forget.” 🌊
For World Ocean Day, we share our conversation with Peter B. de Menocal, oceanographer and President and Director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

His message feels especially urgent following reporting last week in The New York Times that the Trump administration intends to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a network of more than 900 deep-sea instruments that track critical indicators of planetary change. The system has been described as one of the most advanced continuous ocean observing networks ever built.

At a moment when the need for knowledge is growing, the tools that make that knowledge possible are becoming more fragile. 🌎🐠♻️ One ocean connects us all. And right now, it is asking us to pay attention.

In this clip from our changemaker testimonial series, musician and Witness co-founder Peter Gabriel answers the question: “What would a world look like without genocide?” His response remains painfully relevant.
Documenting lived experience is essential, not just for accountability today, but for generations to come. Over 13 years later, and these conversations endure, as does the mission of 3 Generations: hear their stories and demand change. Watch the full video at the link in bio.

“We don't have a past or a future without a story.”

As part of our ongoing Board Member series, we are showcasing the work of our board: an extraordinary group of filmmakers, advocates, and artists. Their work reflects a shared commitment to storytelling. Board member Stephen D. Smith MBE continues to explore the role of narrative, not only in remembrance, but in how we understand the world around us. “That’s not poetic language—it’s literal. The words ‘history’ and ‘story’ share the same root.”

His work reminds us that narrative is not an accessory to history, but its foundation: how experience is carried, understood, and passed on. “What I learned is that how we remember the past influences how we make decisions about the future.” The way stories are told shapes what comes next.

May 5th is Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s (MMIW) Awareness Day. May their stories be heard, their memories carried forward. The color red calls the spirits of missing and murdered women and girls back to their loved ones. They are not gone from this world’s memory.

Every generation inherits the Earth from those who came before - and holds it in trust for those who come after. This Earth Day, we honor her with gratitude, with reverence, and with a renewed commitment to listen. Visit our linktree to watch A Different American Dream(2016) and more of our films on ecocide.

What once felt like a binary debate, criminalization vs. legalization, is in reality more complex. New research, lived experiences, and shifting policies continue to raise questions and spark debate. This 4/20, we’re revisiting our feature documentary POT LUCK(2020) alongside recent reporting that explores the realities of cannabis.
Rather than offer conclusions, we invite conversation. What are we learning? What remains uncertain? And how do we hold space for nuance in a conversation that so often resists it? Explore the clips, read the articles, and share your thoughts below. Watch POTLUCK: 3generations.org/film/pot-luck/ Pot Luck
