As the granddaughter of illustrious author, Ernest Hemingway, Mariel was always destined to be well-known and publicly recognized. However, at the young age of 13, Mariel became famous in her own right when she made her silver screen debut in "Lipstick". Four years later her work in Woody Allen's "Manhattan" earned her an Oscar nomination. She has since made 30 films and numerous television appearances in series and as a host of several environmental and humanitarian documentaries.
Now at the age of 47, Mariel is the mother of two daughters, Dree 21 and Langley 19 and a caretaker of anywhere from 2 to 6 delightful dogs at a time. For over 20 years, she has been pursuing her passion for yoga and health and is now seen as a voice of holistic and balanced health and well- being. As part of that role she has leads wellness retreats all over America, sharing her insights about movement, silence, nutrition, and home. In 2003, she published her powerful bestselling memoir, "Finding My Balance". A truly insightful and inspiring story, of her life's journey through the eyes of yoga and meditation. Mariel's second book called "Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out" (Harper Collins San Francisco 2007), is a how-to guide to finding ones balance and health through self-empowering lifestyle techniques and is a huge success for Mariel and especially for those whom incorporate her inspiring advice.
Her latest and most exciting project is Mariel's Kitchen – a company that will produce real food products with a real life message! Mariel believes that the health of the body mind and spirit is the first step in becoming conscious of the health and well being of the environment that surrounds us. So eat real food grown organically and locally and get more in touch with who you are and how we interact with our communities.

Crowdfunding Anti-Monsanto Film:
Will You Help?
Mariel HemingwayJuly 26
Movies have always been a great way to mix education and entertainment. In many ways they can do more to raise widespread awareness for a topic than any documentary or news story. Think of how much the film “Philadelphia” did for AIDS awareness, the way “Dead Man Walking” tackled the death penalty, or how “Milk” educated a new generation about the efforts of Harvey Milk.
I’ve been fed up with what Monsanto is doing and how they’ve been treating farmers for a long time. I also believe that we need to know as much as possible about the foods we eat and whether or not they contain GMOs. If you follow health news at all, you’ve probably heard quite a bit about Congress and the Monsanto or GMO rider in the last few weeks. These stories are slowly creeping into the mainstream news, but it’s not happening fast enough.
I want to make a difference by creating a film that pulls at people’s heart strings … that is how people will be inspired to do something in their own lives. We are emotional beings and when we are moved we take in information better. I believe we are more likely to make changes in our food choices if we know what is going on. It is that simple. It is about having knowledge so that we can all stand up and say “I have a right to know what I am eating and whether or not it is good for me.” At the same time we don’t want to be told what to do or given facts and figures in a monotonous way… we like stories, we like transformations and that is what we are going to create with our little movie.
And of course it must be entertaining, so we plan on mixing plenty of humor, excitement and even some tragedy in with the facts about Monsanto. This will not be a boring lecture film, it will be an engaging story about a group of ambitious young kids who set out to make a difference, and find out just how hard that can be.
The story begins with Jamie, our main character, attending an anti-Monsanto rally in an effort to impress his ex-girlfriend. While at the rally, he learns about Monsanto and soon becomes very involved in protesting against the company. It’s no longer about winning his ex-girlfriend back, it’s about doing the right thing. Along the way, he teams up with several like-minded young people and they work together to raise awareness about Monsanto. When their initial protests don’t work, they perform a series of attention grabbing stunts. The protestors’ actions put them in directly in the company’s sight, with devastating consequences.
We are very excited about the opportunity to make this film, but we need your help to make it happen. Whether you can help by making a small donation or just by spreading the word about the campaign, it will take all of us working as one to #stopmonsanto.
