	Beautiful one day This documentary turns to one of earth's greatest treasures, the coral reef off the Australian coast. Sitting on valuable oil reserves it's become the target of the oil industry which is desperate for new drilling sites. This is a beautifully produced investigative film highlighting the urgent need to guard The Great Barrier Reef from the corporate vultures. ... More Info »

Children of Chernobyl

The explosion at Chernobyl released a hundred times the radioactive fallout of a nuclear bomb. Even today, no one knows how many people have been affected. One of the few things scientists agree is that children were and continue to be its primary victims. But while thousands of children have become ill, older residents are defiantly returning to their homes in the exclusion zone. They eat home grown vegetables planted in radioactive soil and wander around a ghost town that died twenty years ago.

Climate researchers

Mount Saint Valentin, the highest mountain in Patagonia, is difficult to access and swept by constant storms. This film records the efforts of scientists to drill and remove an ice core filled with valuable information about climate change. For two years French and Chilean glaciologists battled with the elements in this hostile environment in order to extract their precious ice samples. This DVD brings to life the excitement of practical science in the real world.

Fenceline

With many questioning the influence oil companies wield over current US foreign policy, the role of petroleum corporations is once again in the spotlight. This is a documentary about a small community which took on Shell and won. Fighting against a global multi-national, they battled for their environment and health. It'''s a story about a town divided. The white Shell workers prize the refinery as a valuable local asset while the marginalized African American community believe it ruins their health and poisons their children.

Global warming in the Arctic

Large tranches of the Arctic ice cap are melting. For the first time it is possible to sail all the way around the islands of Svalbard – the world’s most northerly civilisation. These islands provide the best demonstration of how global warming is affecting Arctic wildlife. The film-maker’s journey around these harsh coasts brings him uncomfortably close to the polar bears that are starving as their hunting grounds melt away. We also meet walruses, polar foxes and many birds, all of which are feeling the climatic changes.

On Thin Ice

The Arctic sea ice is melting. The global climate is growing steadily warmer and in the Arctic this process is proceeding twice as fast as in the rest of the world. At the current rate climatologists expect the Arctic to be completely ice-free as early as 2050. This DVD shows the importance of the ice to the animals who live there especially the seal, which relies on it to give birth and to rest, and the polar bear which roams the ice searching for seals.

Voice of the river

The Lule River is Sweden's largest and most majestic river. Its upper valley was the home of the Sami, the reindeer drivers. Its powerful waters, frozen in winter, protected this community from the outside world. But life has changed now. In the 1980s the river was dammed and mechanised deforestation began. In its own lyrical tones and using the photography of Stig T. Karlsson, the river charts its story. Harshly realistic, but incredibly poetic, this is a breath-taking film.
