As an accomplished writer and passionate observer of social movements, Klein has covered a breadth of subjects ranging from Canada and the global economy to behind the scenes at the Dalai Lama’s Kalachakra initiation. As an original thinker, her comfort zone is writing on the connections between politics, economics, and the archetypal.
In 2007 Klein wrote, directed and produced her first documentary feature film The Call of the Hummingbird about a group of more than 1000 Mayan calendar (13 moon calendar) followers, bioregionalists, and permaculture experts who gather in central Brazil to prepare and train for December 21, 2012 – the end of the mayan calendar. [1] The film was screened at SXSW and HOTDOCS and at numerous other international film festivals.
