"Plastic Paradise" is an independent documentary film that chronicles Angela Sun's personal journey of discovery to one of the most remote places on Earth, Midway Atoll, to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Along the way she encounters scientists, celebrities, legislators and activists who shed light on what our society's vast consumption of disposable plastic is doing to our oceans -- and what it may be doing to our health.

A look at how climate change affects our environment and what society can do to prevent the demise of endangered species, ecosystems, and native communities across the planet.

The film is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by practices such as landfills and incinerators. Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human stories and ecological disruption. But it ends on a message of hope: showing how the risk to our survival can be averted through sustainable pathways that provide economic solutions while protecting our air, water and food resources.

所有人都喜欢食物。作为人类社会，我们喜欢看各类厨艺节目，美食杂志和各类烹饪网站。那么怎么可能，我们会把接近50%的食物丢弃到垃圾堆里的呢？制片人兼美食家的Grant Baldwin和Jenny Rustemeyer通过这部纪录片，向大家揭示了”食物浪费“这样一个问题，从农场到零售链，直到自家的冰箱橱柜里。在了解了北美每年会有近几十亿价值的食物被丢弃之后，两位导演不再去超市购买食物，而亲自尝试了以被丢弃食物过日子的生活方式。
We all love food. As a society, we devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash? Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food. What they find is truly shocking.

免费素食主义又名飞根主义，（英语：Freeganism）是一种反消费主义生活方式，指通过食用已经被或将要被其他人(如超级市场)扔掉的食物的方法，来实现对生态环境造成最小影响的行为习惯。如果食物的来源不是免费的，这些环境保护主义者只食用素食。
Freeganism is the practice of reclaiming and eating food that has been discarded. Freegans and freeganism are often seen as part of a wider "anti-consumerist" ideology, and freegans often employ a range of alternative living strategies based on limited participation in the conventional economy and minimal consumption of resources.

An exploration of wisdom in the heart of America's most prestigious universities. Wisdom is found in the most unlikely places.

Narrated by Gabriel Byrne (Usual Suspects, Vanity Fair, Miller's Crossing), this seven-time Best Documentary award-winning film (Silver Lake Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival) is the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on film. Hailed by many viewers as a "life-transformational film," Flight from Death uncovers death anxiety as a possible root cause of many of our behaviors on a psychological, spiritual, and cultural level.
Following the work of the late cultural anthropologist, Ernest Becker, and his Pulitzer Prize-winning book Denial of Death, this documentary explores the ongoing research of a group of social psychologists that may forever change the way we look at ourselves and the world. Over the last twenty-five years, this team of researchers has conducted over 300 laboratory studies, which substantiate Becker's claim that death anxiety is a primary motivator of human behavior, specifically aggression and violence.
Flight from Death features an all-star cast of scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers including Sam Keen, Robert Jay Lifton, Irvin Yalom, and Sheldon Solomon culminating in a film that is "not only thought-provoking but also entertaining and put together with a lot of class" (Eric Campos, Film Threat). Three years in the making and beautifully photographed in eight different countries, Flight from Death is "a stimulating, ultimately life-affirming film, filled with big ideas and revelatory footage" (Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times).

在上个世纪八十年代，为了寻求安全的生活，一群躲避苏丹内战而到处迁徙的孩子漂泊多年后，其中一部分在最近受到美国的政治庇护而定居，开始一连串的文化冲击。

Working from Naomi Oreske and Erik Conway’s acclaimed book, Robert
Kenner (FOOD INC.) crafts an entertaining and thoughtful investigation of
an acute problem: the pro-industry science deniers. From the advocates
of nuclear deterrence, to the peddling of pseudo-science by cigarette
manufacturers to deniers of climate change—perhaps today’s most urgent
scientific and political issue—Kenner exposes the ways that industryfunded
professional deniers deliberately mystify what the scientific
community considers settled facts. A startling array of climate change
deniers cheerfully admit to their distortions and Kenner is able to locate
the ideological convictions that are driving them. Particularly moving is
one arch-conservative U.S. Congressman who decided to go to Antarctica
to check out the state of the polar ice caps for himself. Shaken by what he
saw, he returned to oppose his old die-hard ideological allies.
