krisaniku — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:40:37 -0700

'Right Between...' is the story of how normal, intelligent and well-rounded people came to believe May 21, 2011 would be Judgement Day, the public stand they took and what happened when their bold prediction failed. Through their eyes we explore the feeling of being right, and then being wrong. Against the back-drop of this narrative, we turn to cutting-edge neuroscience and social psychology to shed light on how people believe, how we turn our beliefs into certainties and come to mistake them for the truth.

A FIERCE GREEN FIRE

mark kitchell — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:51:27 -0800

A Fierce Green Fire is the first big-picture synthesis of environmentalism - grassroots and global activism spanning fifty years worldwide. It tells the story of the environmental movement from conservation to climate change. We focus on activism -- people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future. Our concerns are connecting causes, how the issues grew, exploring ideas and the evolution of a vision. The common theme is a struggle to save nature against the destructive impact of humanity – from halting dams in the Grand Canyon to battling 20,000 tons of toxic waste at Love Canal; from Greenpeace saving the whales to Chico Mendes and the rubbertappers saving the Amazon; from climate change to the promise of transforming our civilization. Our thesis is that this is the time when mankind must learn to live with nature, move beyond the exploitation at the heart of industrial society and find a way based on biology, balancing human needs with the natural world that sustains us, creating a living planet. As Stewart Brand says in the film, “We’re not passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are Spaceship Earth. We are Gaia.”
