Blue Vinyl
"With humor, chutzpah and a piece of vinyl siding firmly in hand, Peabody
Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand and co-director and award-winning
cinematographer
Daniel B. Gold set out in search of the truth about polyvinyl chloride
(PVC), America's most popular plastic. From Long Island to Louisiana to
Italy, they
unearth the facts about PVC and its effects on human health and the environment."

Ecological design: inventing the future
"Illuminates the emergence of ecological design in the 20th century.
Features the ideas and prototypes of pioneering designers who have
trail-blazed the
development of sustainable architecture, cities, energy systems, transport
and industry. Beginning in the 1920's with the work of R. Buckminster
Fuller, moving through the 1960's and the Counter Culture and ending
on the doorstep
of the 21st century, this program follows the evolution of ecological
design from the visions of a few independent thinkers to the powerful
movement it
is becoming."

Green Plans
"Hosted by CNN's Jack Hamann, GREENPLANS presents a hopeful look at how two countries
have moved beyond the usual environmental conflicts to develop widely supported
national plans for sustainable development. Competing interests in the Netherlands
and New Zealand were brought together to hammer out a comprehensive national
environmental policy - or Green Plan - aimed at creating both a sustainable
environment and economy within one generation's time. GREENPLANS travels to
these two countries to profile how this new approach works, and also looks
at efforts underway here in the U.S. and in other countries to adopt Green
Plans. Among those featured is Huey Johnson, founder of the Resource Renewal
Institute. Published by University of Nebraska Press, a 233-page book is also
available, providing a more detailed look at the plans developed by Netherlands,
New Zealand, and in several other countries."

Powers of ten: a film dealing with the relative size of things in
the universe and the effect of adding another zero
"Dealing with scale, proportion and dimension, the film moves in real time over
a course of 40 powers of ten, from the cosmic distances of the universe to the
heart of the atom. Takes the viewer from earth to the outer galaxies, showing
the increase in time and distance in increments of ten. Then, returning to Earth,
proceeds from the human scale into the world of cells, DNA molecules, and the
nucleus of a carbon atom."

Saviors of the Forest
"This is not your typical rainforest film. Tired of filming TV commercials,
two well-intentioned Los Angeles "camera guys" decide to do their
part for the environment by exposing the villains responsible for destroying
the
rainforests. So, they innocently pack up their video cameras and head to South
America looking for the bad guys. Along the way they meet a range of paradoxical
characters including poor people who cut down forests to survive, environmentalists
trying to import an "ecological" sawmill,
timber companies campaigning for reforestation, and Hollywood producers who use
rainforest plywood to build their sets. They even find themselves paying someone
to cut down a tree so they can get needed footage. Through their humorous adventures
and irreverent style, the filmmakers illuminate a serious subject in an entertaining
way: that it is often a complicated set of circumstances driving rainforest destruction."

Trade
Secrets: A Bill Moyers’ Report
"TRADE SECRETS: A MOYERS REPORT is an investigation of the history of
the chemical revolution and the companies that drove it – and how
companies worked to withhold vital information about the risks from workers,
the government,
and the public. Journalist Bill Moyers and producer Sherry Jones rely
on an archive of documents the public was never meant to see –-
documents that reveal the industry's early knowledge that some chemicals
could
pose dangers to human health that were not disclosed at the time."
