This week-end on EcoTalk we'll meet Patrice O'Neill whose film "The
Fire Next Time" is now showing on PBS . She tells the story of a small Montana town, Kalispell in Flathead Valley, divided by competing
interests; economic growth and environmental protection.
We'll learn what
happens when a right wing radio host comes to town and enflames and distorts an
already tense situation by calling for the burning of green swastikas.
