THE AISTEAR (English/UK)
The 21st Century is an age where human beings' relationship with the natural world continues to diminish. This documentary chronicles one community's determination to maintain this connection by the creation of a project called "The Aistear." (Siobhan Donnellan, 2006)
YUKON CIRCLES (English)
The inspirational story of how native tribes and nations in Alaska and Canada joined together to protect the waters and wildlife of the Yukon River from pollution. (Karin Williams, 2006)
TRANSFORMING ENERGY (English)
This film considers the promise of alternative energy as a solution to global warming and the end of cheap oil and natural gas. The film profiles people working to create a new energy paradigm: a political activist, a solar panel company president, student engineers racing solar cars, and a family living off the grid. Underscoring the urgency of the situation are the experiences of Native Alaskans who must evacuate their village near the Bering Sea due to global warming. Features interviews with Hunter Lovins, William McDonough, Jeremy Rifkin, and James Howard Kunstler. (Chuck Davis, 2006)
