Patagonia founder, Yvon Chouinard, appears in this commercial for the American Express Members Project, a new partnership with social-action network Takepart.com.
According to Patagonia’s blog, The Cleanest Line, the commercial was filmed in and around Ventura County by Oscar-winning cinematographer, Robert Richardson, and directed by Scott Hicks.
Chouinard is donating all proceeds he receives from the commercial between these five environmental groups: Conservacion Patagonica, Atlantic Salmon Federation, Freedom to Roam Coalition, Native Fish Society and Save our Wild Salmon.
