Drumbeat for Mother Earth
Many scientists and tribal people consider persistent toxic chemicals to be the greatest threat to the long-term survival of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous Peoples' connection to Mother Earth places them on a collision course with these chemicals. Continued survival within a contaminated environment means making life and death decisions that could alter whole cultures, diets, ceremonies and future generations.  

End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream
The End of Suburbia explores the American way of life as global demand for fossil fuels begin to outstrip supply.

As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream?  

Farming the Seas
Aqua-culture was intended to take the pressure off ocean fish stocks and help avert a global food shortage, but many experts now believe that some forms of "fish farming" are actually creating more problems than they're solving... and time is running out. The viability of the global food chain and the sustainability of our oceans' fisheries hang in the balance.

The Harriman Alaska Expedition Retraced
Two scientific expeditions to Alaska , 100 years apart, give us an unparalleled view of environmental damage and the change in society's attitudes. A century ago railroad tycoon, Edward H. Harriman, invited the top authorities in the country to join him on a 9000-mile exploration of the coast of Alaska . Over a century later, Thomas Litwin organized an expedition to follow the path of the original one, to go to exactly the same places and see what the effects of the 20th century had wrought on Alaska . The film addresses the boom and bust of industry, global warming, endangered species, the state of natural resources, and the influx of tourism to the pristine edges of the world. It presents a unique look at 100 years of change in Alaska , and in American attitudes towards the environment and indigenous peoples.

In the Light of Reverence
Devils Tower . The Four Corners . Mount Shasta. All are places of extraordinary beauty -and impassioned controversy - as Indians and non-Indians struggle to co-exist with very different ideas about how the land should be used. Every year, more sacred sites - the land-based equivalent of the world's great cathedrals - are being destroyed. In the Light of Reverence documents the struggles of the Lakota in the Black Hills , the Hopi in Arizona and the Wintu in California to protect their sacred sites.

Koyaanisqatsi
Even more pertinent today, then when it was released 20 years ago, the film, whose title is a Hopi Indian word meaning "life out of balance", is an apocalyptic vision of the collision of two different worlds: urban lifestyle and technology versus the environment. The film presents a metaphor for modern life that is increasingly alienated from nature which, is seen as just a resource to be subjugated to serve technology and our human needs.

Monumental
This film tells the story of David Brower, a true American legend, publisher and filmmaker, and a zealous crusader for the cause of environmentalism. At the center of the film are the very themes that absorbed Brower throughout his life: the threatened beauty of the American earth, the spiritual connection between humans and the great outdoors, and the moral obligation to preserve what is left of the world's natural wonders.

Natural Connections
Introduces the basic concepts of bio-diversity, and takes a close-up look at salmon, rainforests, and marine ecosystems as examples. Many programs call for us all to consume less in order to leave enough room for other species, on whom ultimately our survival depends. Few do it so effectively and positively.

Net Loss

Rising Waters
For 7 million people living on thousands of islands scattered across the Pacific ocean , global warming is not something that looms in the distant future: it's a threat whose first effects have already begun. Water temperature in the tropical Pacific has risen dramatically over the last two decades, bleaching coral and stressing marine ecosystems. Sea level rise threatens to inundate islands, and extreme weather events could wipe out ecosystems and the way of life that has existed for thousands of years. The longer emission reductions are delayed, the harder it will be to curb the effects of global warming, and prevent sea level rise from devastating the Pacific Islands . The problems facing the islanders serve as an urgent warning to the rest of the world.

The Air We Breathe
This video traces the damaging connection between suburban sprawl, our addiction to the automobile, air pollution, and disturbing increases in asthma and other respiratory diseases. In the past ten years hospital admissions for asthma have doubled, and air quality specialists are pointing to alarming statistics correlating smog levels with high rates of respiratory diseases as well as higher mortality rates.

Thirst

Unconquering the Last Frontier
Chronicles Native Americans' struggle to survive in the midst of hydroelectric development. A dam was erected on the Elwha River in 1910, it occurred at tragic expense to the Native American, Elwha Klallam people, who relied upon the river for their sustenance. The film tells the story of the 90-year long struggle of the Elwha tribal community to challenge these perceptions and eventually to lobby Congress for the removal of the dams and for the restoration of the river's ecosystem and fisheries.  

Uranium
Because of toxic and radioactive waste, there are profound, long-term environmental hazards associated with uranium mining. Most of the mining to date has been on land historically used by native populations so uranium mining violates the traditional economic and spiritual lives of many people, an example of how our society's need for resources causes us to trample on native peoples rights. Given our limited knowledge of the range of environmental risks associated with uranium mining and the social problems it ensues, the film questions the validity of continuing to mine it.

Vanishing Wetlands
Our wetlands are remarkable habitats that provide life to an abundance of plant and animal species. Vanishing Wetlands shows the effects of industrial development, levees, and dams in Illinois , Mississippi and Ontario .
