When we walk into a supermarket, we assume that we have the widest possible choice of healthy foods. But in fact, over the course of the 20th century, our food system was co-opted by corporate entities whose interests do not lie in providing the public with fresh, healthy, delicious food.

Fortunately an alternative emerged from the counter-culture of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s, where a group of political anti-corporate protesters - led by Alice Waters - voiced their dissent by creating a food chain outside of the conventional system. The unintended result was the birth of a vital local-sustainable-organic food movement which has brought back taste and variety to our tables.

FOOD FIGHT is a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture devel- oped in the 20th century, and how the California food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

Featuring interviews with acclaimed author Michael Pollan, world-renowned chefs such as Alice Waters, Jean-Pierre Moulle, Suzanne Goin, Jeremiah Tower and Wolfgang Puck, Rep. Ron Kind, community gardeners and urban farmers including Will Allen of Growing Power, FOOD FIGHT is a must-see for pro-local and organic food security activists, and good-food lovers everywhere!

Monsanto is the world leader in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as one of the most controversial corporations in industrial history. This century-old empire has created some of the most toxic products ever sold, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), the herbicide Agent Orange (used during the Vietnam war), and bovine growth hormones, which are unauthorized in Canada and banned in Europe. Based on a painstaking investigation, The World According to Monsanto puts together the pieces of the company's history, calling on hitherto unpublished documents and numerous first-hand accounts.

Today, Monsanto likes to style itself as a "life sciences" company converted to the virtues of sustainable development. The leader in genetically modified seeds, engineered to resist its herbicide Roundup(R), claims it wants to solve world hunger while protecting the environment.

In the light of its troubling past, can we really believe these noble intentions? Misleading reports, collusion, pressure tactics and attempts at corruption: the history of Monsanto is filled with disturbing episodes. Behind its clean, green image, Monsanto is tightening its grasp on the world seed market, striving for market supremacy to the detriment of food security and the global environment.

AWARDS: Best Medium or Feature Length Documentary at International Francophone Film Festival in Acadie.

Features interviews with clueless farmers who are part of the problem, critically-acclaimed author Michael Pollan, Agricultural Economist John Ikerd, and savvy farmers and activists who are making a positive difference.

Official Selection at several international film festivals. A great companion film to FOOD FIGHT.

In 200,000 years on earth humanity has upset the balance of the planet, established by nearly four billion years of evolution. The price to pay is high, but it's too late to be a pessimist: humanity has barely ten years to reverse the trend, become aware of the full extent of its spoliation of the Earth's riches and change its patterns of consumption.

By bringing us unique footage from 54 countries, all seen from the air, by sharing with us his wonder and his concern, with this film critically-acclaimed French photographer and first-time film director Yann Arthus Bertrand lays a foundation stone for the edifice that, together, we must rebuild. When he had the idea for this film in 2006, Bertrand contacted producer Denis Carot (Elzevir Films), who immediately believed in the project despite the apparent folly of the director's idea that the film should be widely distributed for free. It was crucial, therefore, to break free of the classical model of commercialization and find a sponsor capable of funding the movie. They succeeded. Approx. 480 hours of footage has been edited to bring you 2-hours of HOME.

Of the film Bertrand says, "(It) has a very clear message. We have a greater impact on the Earth than it can bear. We over-consume and are depleting the Earth's resources. From the air, it's easy to see the Earth's wounds. So, HOME simply sets out our current situation, while saying that a solution exists."

Launched on June 5 - World Environment Day - HOME is a visually stunning - stunning! - call to environmental consciousness that must must must be seen to be believed!

Free admission, donations appreciated to help offset physical production costs.

"Besides changing their way of life, I'd like people to want to help, to share. There's a magnificent quote from Theodore Monod: "We've tried everything, except love". I hope this movie will be synonymous with a lot of love." - Yann Arthus Bertrand

Viva la Causa focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights - the grape strike and boycott led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta through the National Farm Workers Association in the 1960s.

The documentary chronicles how Chavez, Huerta and their colleagues, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., created a mass movement to improve the lives of some of the most exploited people in the country - farmworkers who labored for meager wages under appalling conditions in the fields of California. Chavez and Huerta guided a non-violent strike for fair wages that became a movement for social justice.

Today, as in the 1960s, employers routinely exploit migrant laborers and immigrants of colour, underpaying them and leaving them to toil in often unsafe and unsanitary work environments. The current U.S. debate over immigration has been polluted by racism, distortions and propaganda. The ranks of hate groups are swelling with an anti-immigrant tide, and hate crimes against Latinos are increasing. Viva la Causa reminds us that great things can be achieved when marginalized people pool their efforts into 'la causa'. Great historical footage and interviews with the people who were there. Narrated by George Lopez.

"Viva la Causa" is the sixth film produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance program. Four of the program's past documentaries have been nominated for Academy Awards(R), and two films - "A Time for Justice" and "Mighty Times: The Children's March"- have won the Oscar(R) in the short documentary category. The SPLC, based in Montgomery, Ala., is a nonprofit civil rights organization that combats hate and discrimination.

In a world with so much wealth, why is there still so much poverty?

Poverty is no accident. 1492 marks the birth of modern times when the conquistadors violently extracted gold and other natural resources. Since then, our economic system has been financed by the poor, by forcing them to give up their land and access to natural resources, then through unfair trade, debt repayment and unjust taxes on labour and consumption. In essence, our global economy is built on a foundation of slavery and extraction of raw materials exported to the 'first world' for production, and then sold back to the 'third world' for a hefty profit.

Over 500 years later, and several decades after the hard-won independence of their respective countries from European colonizers, enter neo-liberalism: billions of people remain 'landless', and their future remains in the hands of a disproportionately small number of wealthy landowners and transnational corporations who have long claimed an economic 'trickle-down theory' will provide prosperity for all. It hasn't. This system was carefully built and maintained by the free market policies, resource monopolies and structural adjustment programs by the World Bank and the IMF (International Monetary Fund) who continue to deny the Majority World their right to self-determination and economic prosperity.

This multiple-award-winning documentary narrated by Martin Sheen includes interviews with Nobel Prize Winners in Economics Joseph Stiglitz and Amartya Sen, Eric Toussaint of the Committee for Cancellation of Third World Debt, Susan George of the Transnational Institute, former CIA Analyst Chalmers Johnson, best-selling author and former economic hit-man John Perkins, former World Bank Economic Advisor David Ellerman, professors, bankers, Bolivian water defense coordinators, African & Latin American community organizers and the working poor in shantytowns, slums & favelas around the world. It is a must-see for anyone concerned about poverty in the 21st century.

"The End of Poverty?" was an Official Selection (Critics Week) at Cannes 2008, and opens in New York and Los Angeles theatres in November 2009.
