TEDxTopanga: Tapestry of Life

Peter Jay Brown discusses how he makes change in his world every day and how you can do it too.
He is a director and cinematographer, who specializes in real life stories, cultural adventures, and big sexy animals that can eat you! His 30 years of experience producing shows such as Real People, Entertainment Tonight, and numerous cable programs have given him a unique insight into the storytelling arts. 
Best known for his stint on Discovery Channel's hit show, Whale Wars, Brown has been active in the Sea Shepard Conservation Society for over 25 years, and is completing a feature length documentary based on his experiences, entitled Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist.
Over the past five years, Brown has produced and directed twenty films with the Kenya Wildlife Services for International television to champion wildlife conservation in Africa. In December 2001 Brown helped Mary MacMakin (winner of the EIS award in Chicago for her 40 years humanitarian work in Afghanistan) re-establish her charity PARSA in Kabul Afghanistan.


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
