Films & Other Videos

Films with: Macksoud, Anne

Birdsong & coffee a wake up call /
"What is the connection between coffee farmers, birds and ourselves? Why are 25 million coffee farmers impoverished while we spend more for our coffee? Why are North American songbirds becoming harder and harder to find? What is the difference between Free Trade and Fair Trade? This film explores the answers to these questions and many more. We hear from experts and students, from coffee lovers and bird lovers. But most importantly, we hear from the coffee farmers themselves and learn how their lives and ours are inextricably joined in ways that we need to understand."--container

Lover's quarrel with America William Sloane Coffin /
Rev. Coffin, a long-time social/political activist, comments about the Iraq War, nuclear disarmament, and the present administration's stance concerning national security issues and America's foreign policy. He also defines good and bad patriotism. He avows that "... what is unpatriotic is subservience." He also believes "The axis of evil is not Iran, Iraq and North Korea. A far more formidable trio would be environmental degradation, pandemic poverty, and a world awash with weapons."

Wisdom to survive climate change, capitalism & community /
"The wisdom to survive accepts the consensus of scientists that climate change has already arrived, and asks, what is keeping us from action? The film explores how unlimited growth and greed are destroying the life support system of the planet, the social fabric of society, and the lives of billions of people. Will we have the wisdom to survive? The film features thought leaders and activists in the realms of science, economics and spirituality discussing how we can evolve and take action in the face of climate disruption. They urge us to open ourselves to the beauty that surrounds us and get to work on ensuring it thrives. Among those featured are Bill McKibben, Joanna Macy, Nikki Cooley, Roger Payne, Richard Heinberg, Amy Seidl, Stephanie Kaza, Gus speth, Jihan Gearan, and Ben Falk"--Container.
