Jason Momoa has long been a passionate advocate for the environment, and in January 2024, he took that commitment directly to the next generation by showcasing the documentary Common Ground at his children’s school. This thoughtful gesture reflects Momoa’s dedication to instilling sustainable values in young minds, including his own children, Lola Iolani and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo.
In a conversation with People magazine, Momoa described the experience as both meaningful and enjoyable, highlighting the importance of engaging not just his children but their peers in conversations about environmental stewardship. “I want the next generation to take it even more,” he said, acknowledging that while some young people are already active, the cause needs continuous momentum and personal connection.
Common Ground serves as a powerful educational tool for this mission. Narrated by Momoa alongside celebrities such as Laura Dern, Donald Glover, and Woody Harrelson, the documentary delves into regenerative agriculture and its role in healing soil, combating climate change, and improving human health. Premiering at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival and released on Prime Video on Earth Day 2025, the film underscores practical solutions for sustainability, making it a fitting choice for a school setting.
Momoa’s decision to bring Common Ground to his children’s school exemplifies his family-centered approach to activism. By directly involving Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, he bridges personal values with public advocacy, encouraging young audiences to understand their role in shaping a more sustainable future.
This event is just one part of Momoa’s ongoing environmental efforts, rooted in a belief that meaningful change begins with education and community. As he put it, “That’s what I’m fighting for.” By leveraging the power of film and family, Momoa continues to inspire a new generation to care deeply for the planet they will inherit
