The Green Patriarch: Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew
The name "Green Patriarch' is hardly sufficient to describe this amazing man, who, while still in the grip of the tidal forces of human history unleashed by the collapse of the Roman Empire, is one of the few who really grasps the significance of the current moment for the future of humanity and Creation. His quiet and persevering influence has been great, up there with Al Gore, maybe more so. This is a powerful film on a true spiritual leader working behind the scenes to change the way humanity relates to Earth and Nature. (watch The Green Patriarch)

COP15: Save The World!
This is the film shown at the Copenhagen Conference (COP15) opening ceremonies; it was meant to dramatize the dangers of climate change and speak for the children who will live with the decisions we make now. Some found it somewhat overwrought and it has provoked some criticism. (watch Save The World!)
