UnchainedTV was founded by award-winning TV journalist and bestselling author Jane Velez-Mitchell, who spent decades as a TV reporter/anchor/host, most recently at CNN Headline News/HLN. But, so often, she noticed, the most important stories of our era were being ignored by mainstream news media. Now, UnchainedTV brings you the latest on these otherwise ignored or underreported stories regarding climate change, animal agriculture, carbon footprints, alternative proteins and other issues that could well determine whether we survive as a species into the next century. Face it, if our planet gets too hot to support life, we're toast.
