About the Film

The 1970s are often referred to as the environmental decade, and perhaps no action better exemplifies the aims and achievements of this period than California’s Proposition 20. Passed by voters in 1972, Prop. 20 established the regulatory body that became known as the California Coastal Commission – an agency widely recognized as the international flagship of coastal regulation. This documentary tells the story of that grassroots campaign through the voices of those who waged it, showing how a diverse group of underdogs took on the state’s most powerful corporations to save the California coast for the people.
