R.I.P. Robert Redford...Appreciation for an Iconic Actor, Director, Environmentalist and Activist (G&R 421)

We've been long inspired and touched by Robert Redford's career in film and politics. He was a screen idol who challenged America's status quo. From acting in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor and All The President's Men to directing Ordinary People and the Milagro Beanfield War, he took on roles, and later directing projects, that questioned authority and brought a cultural weight to America's cinematic catalog.

His political work included fighting for and supporting environmental and Indigenous rights causes. He was part of documentary projects about Leonard Peltier, John Trudell and climate activist Tim DeChristopher. In his later years, he supported the campaign against the Keystone XL Pipeline and called Trump a "monarchy in disguise."

In our latest, we pay tribute to iconic actor, director, environmentalist and activist Robert Redford.

Rest in Peace, Sundance!
