"AMAZON GOLD" and "Over Troubled Waters"
FEATURE: "AMAZON GOLD" Director: Reuben Aaronson
Narrated by Academy Award winners, Sissy Spacek and Herbie Hancock, "Amazon Gold" is the disturbing account of a clandestine journey bearing witness to the apocalyptic destruction of the rainforest in the pursuit of illegally mined gold.
Two journalists who normally cover war and human rights issues travel along Peru's Madre de Dios River to reveal the savage unraveling of pristine rainforest.
Left in the wake of almost surreal images of once extraordinary beauty turned into hellish wasteland, "Amazon Gold" reaffirms the right of the rainforest to exist as a repository of priceless biodiversity and not as the toxic remains of man's greed for gold.

SHORT: "Over Troubled Waters" Director: Russell Fisher
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the largest estuary on the west coast of the Americas, is a national treasure being squandered by greed.
In this visually rich documentary, Ed Begley, Jr. narrates the story of the battle being fought by the people of the Delta to protect the region they love and to encourage saner water policies for the Golden State and all the people of California.
