Media That Matters director honored with prestigious fellowship
Joshua Holst, director of third annual Media That Matters Film Festival winner Esmeraldas: Petroleum and Poverty, was recently awarded with a National Science Foundation fellowship. This Graduate Research Fellowship provides $90,000 over a three-year period.
Josh has worked with communities in conflict with the mining industry. His current research is on "grassroots Vietnamese resistance to petroleum activity", continuing the theme of his short film, which addressed refinery issues in Texas.
