Question by Kay: Can you think of a good, recent *environmental* film to show during Earth Week?
I am planning a screening on campus and I was wondering if you guys had some suggestions. I am thinking something along the lines of Food Inc, Flow, and of course, an Inconvenient Truth. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Here’s a pretty good list with descriptions in the links.

“An Inconvenient Truth” may be less credible than it once was. Even the most ardent supporters of anthropogenic global warming on this website tire of the mention of Al Gore’s name.
Is there something related to your region? For example, I would show “Appalachia: Time and Terrain” in a snap for an audience where I live.

Wall-E is a movie on DVD Is a savager robot whose job it is to clean up the earth that humans have polluted so bad ,they left to live in off plant craft holding them all until the earth is clean enough to return.Wall-E falls in love with a female robot earth pollution inspector. He hitches unto the space craft when it leaves the earth going to the off planet craft where the Humans are living. The humans have grown huge ,hovering around on hover vehicles,continually eating while working if you can call it that. Walmart had it playing on demonstrating TVs. It is Hilarious. It is for kids but it is really funny. Search Wall-E .It is by Paxar,computer generated

Fresh!
It’s a 2009 (I think) film about sustainable agriculture. It is only available for screenings right now, no DVDs, bc they want to encourage it as a community conversation starter.
No Impact Man is also good, and shows the trials and tribulations of a small family that tries to produce no waste for a year.
Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai is about women planting trees in Africa, It’s environmental and political empowerment, but not exactly the same line as Fresh and Food,Inc.
