Mercy for Earth Documentary Film: A Solutions for Environmental Issues
Mercy for Earth is a non-profit organization founded and directed by Ignacio Barsottelli, a veteran of the environmental conservation movement.
Mercy for Earth (the film), explores why we are in our current ecological state, provides an attainable and permanent solution which may just answer the question, why are we here?
With the participation of an Academy Award winner, Benicio del Toro, leading scientists, and educators, we will tell our compelling story in a visually innovative way that will explore our current crisis, the falling number of various animal species, and the sacrifices made by environmentalists. This story of our past, hidden tragedies and optimistic future lend themselves perfectly to the culmination of support for our proposal.

History
Mercy for Earth is a non-profit organization founded and directed by Ignacio Barsottelli, a veteran of the environmental conservation movement.
In 1997, Ignacio Barsottelli founded the non-profit organization “YoLimpio a Puerto Rico” (I Clean Puerto Rico). The organization partnered with the Puerto Rican Department of Education to implement environmental education in schools and establish additional programs to educate the community about various conservation methods and initiatives that continue to influence the community today.
In 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded YoLimpio a PR the prestigious Environmental Quality Award in recognition of Ignacio Barsotelli’sservice as a tireless advocate for environmental conservation and motivator of change.
The YoLimpio a Puerto Rico programs have achieved amazing success on the island making YLPR the most active and educational organization in the Caribbean. Thanks to this success, in 2006 a new chapter began in other countries under “YoLimpio America” (Venezuela, El Salvador, Guatemala, Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic and Unites States).
These projects have always had the unwavering support of celebrities, including Oscar & Grammy winners, who have acted as spokespeople for education campaigns, together with the support of several organizations, companies, leading scientific, and educational experts.

The topics addressed in the film are at times tragic, hopeful, sad, and reinvigorating. Using real life footage, animation, and the dramatization of intriguing characters, “Mercy for Earth” has an innovative approach. This organization will take the audience on a journey of emotions, from the admiration of nature, to the sadness of destruction, and the hope of a lasting solution. Our aim is to quell fear and provide hope and demonstrate that the end is not around the corner. Life on this this planet will continue in the form of our choosing and it is our responsibility to ensure earth remains the paradise we inherited. Whether we like it or not, we cannot avoid this fact, and it will be a long road, with no quick fixes. When one stops to consider what we’ve been given in return, our payment for this job, the gifts of comprehension, emotion, thought and expression, we should relish the opportunity to possess such an attainable and fulfilling purpose, starting with the request for and bestowing mercy.
