Talk:Robert Hunter (journalist)

message: I deleted three book titles: Greenpeace, Greenpeace III: Journey Into The Bomb, and On The Sky: Zen And The Art Of International Freeloading.  The first two were not written by Mr. Hunter and I don't think the third title exists. – Krash 23:07, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: On the Sky definitely exists, though he may have wished it hadn't - it was the novel in the scandal described in the article. Maybe it was originally published under a pseudonym? I've returned its title in that context. Perhaps Hunter wrote forewords or similar for the Greenpeace books, so they appeared on a bibliography or search. Samaritan 23:31, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello. I am from Japan and poor in English. I want some help of you to rewrite my additions.
I corrected some points.
(1) Greenpeace was established in 1969 as "Don't make a Wave Committee", not in 1972.  Perhaps the original noted when "Greenpeace Foundation" established.
(2) David McTaggart and Paul Watson are not co-founder of Greenpeace.  David took part in Greenpeace in 1972, and Paul took part in Greenpeace in 1974.

:Sorry. Paul took part in Greenpeace in 1971. 210.148.130.51 1 July 2005 21:32 (UTC)
I think we need to change the Greenpeace establishment date back to 1972, which was when the Greenpeace Foundation was set up. Prior to this, the organisation was the Don't make a Wave Committee, a predecessor of Greenpeace, established in 1969. This will also make this page consistent with the Greenpeace article. Regarding Paul Watson, he was involved in the 'Don't make a Wave Committee in 1970 and crewed on the Greenpeace Too! in 1971 which was a relief vessel for the Greenpeace I expedition which Bob Hunter was on.--Takver 09:31, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of where one could find a full list of Bob Hunter's films?  I see them on CP24 sometimes at hours like 1 am, and they are hauntingly beautiful records of faraway corners of our country (just today I saw one called "Thelon").  Today, they seem to have more relevance than ever.  I wonder if there is a full list of them all somewhere.  The only thing I could find was this IMDB page - it seems like that's the right guy, though I'm not sure.  For one thing, it would be very incomplete (he definitely made more films than just two).  For another, there are 11 Robert Hunters on IMDB. Esn 05:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Bob Hunter, Ecology Specialist at City TV in Toronto and co-founder of GreenPeace, came to Temagami in 1990 to cover and report on the environmental blockade on the Red Squirrel Road and our friends at City TV in Toronto have been joining us on remote adventures since 1995. They often take footage of the rivers we travel, bringing to people's attention environmental issues and endangered areas. Previous river trips they have filmed include the Hayes River, Temagami, the Caribou River, the Thelon, and Dumoine. The film Thelon was shot during our river expedition there in 2001 and won the best environmental film for the Water Walker Festival in 2002."
Some of his films won some awards here: ,
