A month ago, Public released our first documentary, Thrown To The Wind, by journalist and filmmaker Jonah Markowitz.
Thrown To The Wind reveals the reality behind the specious claims of an industry that has long billed itself as a boon to the natural environment. [emphasis, links added]
Our film exposes the price the world is actually paying for the industrialization of our oceans by offshore wind corporations: the killing of whales and the potential extinction of an entire cetacean species.
We founded Public to do precisely this kind of journalism: independent, uncompromising, evidence-based reporting that the mainstream media is too industry-captured and too ideologically blinkered to undertake.
Today, we’re releasing Thrown To The Wind widely, without the paywall. It’s imperative that this film reach as wide an audience as possible, to maximize its real-world impact.
The survival of the North American Right Whale may depend on it.
While we want as many people as possible to watch our film, we owe a special thanks to those of you who pay for Public. Both filmmaking and investigative journalism are expensive. You’re what makes it possible. Thank you.

WHERE IS GREENPEACE?!
I agree that there needs to be something done about the offshore wind and what it’s doing to the whales. But I guess I’m having difficulty with the woman who wants to get off fossil fuels. What does she think will provide the power for our modern economy? If she thinks it’s wind and solar how does that jibe with her desire for forested areas like where she lives in northern New Hampshire? Millions of acres of land will need to be taken to install these wind and solar “farms” as well as the millions of miles of new transmission lines going right through forests like where she lives. Finally CO2 is not causing the climate to change in some dastardly way.
