Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council
TRT :27 minutes Yukon Circles is the
inspirational story of how native people in Alaska and Canada joined
together to protect the the Yukon River. The Yukon is the second-longest
river in North America, flowing 2300 miles from its headwaters in Canada
to its vast delta on the Bering Sea. But the river is threatened by
pollution from military, mining, manufacturing and human settlement.
Rather than blaming the polluters or pointing fingers at the many
entities who had dumped waste in their traditional territories, the
tribes made a radical decision. They would take the leadership and
responsibility for protecting their own lands, waters, animals and fish.

minutes
An animated journey through a transforming
dreamscape chronicles the language of symbols as experienced in a series
of dreams spanning eleven years. Dreams from sleeping as well as waking
states constitute revelations from places of deep silence where logic is
mythical and identity is fluid. |

A Canadian Mining Company is planning to construct an open cast copper mine in one of the world's biological hotspots - a pristine cloud forest in the heart of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. Local communities strongly oppose the mine as it will ruin their livelihoods, and destroy their environment which is a home to many endangered species. The company is ignoring their heart-felt pleas and through death threats, bribery and intimidation, is pushing forward with the project with disastrous consequences.

USA TRT :21 minutes
Diane Wilson, a fourth generation fisherwoman and mother of 5, began her fight with the giants of the petrochemical industry in 1989, when she discovered that her small Texas county had been named the most toxic place in America. Witness to the mass die off of dolphins along the Gulf Coast and the slow death of her once thriving fishing community, Diane boldly took action. Part eco- detective, part muck-raking humorist, this "unreasonable woman"recounts the hunger strikes and civil disobedience that have made her Public Enemy No. 1 to the powerful and lawless industries that routinely spill millions of pounds of toxins into our air, soil & water.
