Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, she meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe they live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognize, and free themselves from, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.

​11th Environmental Documentary Series at SHU in the Winter Semester of 2021
 
Due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic, we will watch all films individually but (close to) synchronous online at the below days and times. We will connect live via Zoom (Meeting link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83391076365?pwd=djZQa3hvQklncDlTdTdjbnBPdDcxdz09) to allow questions and comments about the films via chat and run a post screening discussion. As Fair-Use exceptions only apply to face-to-face settings, you will need to rent or buy your own personal license (distributors with hyperlinks, and costs are provided in the far-right column of the below program). Some films are free – or provided to this film series by the filmmakers. Be ready to start watching by 6:30 PM. If you are running late, send a Zoom chat to everybody to find out where we are – you can return to the missed parts after our session concludes. This way we will all be done watching about the same time and can conclude the session with a post-screening discussion.

​10th Environmental Documentary Series at SHU in the Fall Semester of 2020

Due to the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all films are online and you can watch them anytime you want – just rent the films or watch them for free – see below). I created a blog page and will make a post for each film so you can comment and share your thoughts, ask questions or share any related information: http://sustainability.sienaheights.edu/environmental-documentaries-blog

I just received the below notification that this great documentary that I waited for a long time was finally released. If you watch it before September 8, you will donate automatically to help indigenous communities in the Amazon region that were extremely hard hit by the Corona virus: You're invited to the online release of Yasuní Man, now available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, and Vimeo. If you watch it before September 8th, a portion of the proceeds from each download will go directly to the Amazon Emergency Fund, to provide COVID-19 rapid response grants across the Amazon. This “must-see” film about the Amazon is a powerful documentary that takes you into Ecuador's Yasuní National Park – the most biodiverse place on the planet. It is home to the Waorani Indigenous people and the nomadic Tagaeri-Taromenane, who are among the last remaining Indigenous peoples living in voluntary isolation in Ecuador.
