Its All a Lie (10 min, UK)
In September, 2007, Earth Justice Foundation investigators visited the northeast coast of Brazil where a proposal for a shrimp farm the size of Londons Heathrow airport would turn coastal forests into a virtual wasteland, destroying sustainable livelihoods and threatening marine habitats. The film illustrates the delusion of local residents due to false promises made by the shrimp farming industry for jobs and a better life, and shows the devastation caused to alert Caravelas residents of the activitys reality. (Environmental Justice Foundation, 2007)
Cuba: The Accidental Revolution (Part 1) (45 min, Canada)
Examines Cubas response to the food crisis created by the collapse of the Soviet Bloc in 1989. At one time, Cubas agrarian culture was as conventional as the rest of the worlds. Cuba experienced its first Green Revolution when Russia was supplying the country with chemical and mechanical inputs. However, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 ended all of that, and almost overnight threw Cubas whole economic system into crisis. (Ray Burley, 2006)
