Losing ground to climate change, this Alaskan community resolves to save itself.

Water will erase Newtok, Alaska. Built on a delta at the edge of the Bering Sea, the tiny Yup'ik village has been dealing with melting permafrost, river erosion and decaying infrastructure for decades. To keep their culture and community intact, the 360 Yup'ik residents must relocate their entire village to stable ground upriver while facing a federal government that has failed to take appropriate action to combat climate change. In moving their village, they will become some of America's first climate change refugees. This is a film of a village seeking justice in the face of climate disaster.

A Note On Agency From the Directors

This story was led by the people of Newtok

We set out to tell Newtok's story because we felt it was one of the most important and underreported stories unfolding in America. As non-Indigenous journalists and filmmakers working in an Indigenous community, we were keenly aware of our position as outsiders and the fraught history of Western journalists getting Native stories wrong. The community didn't need this story to be told in order to relocate their village, but the rest of America needed to hear it. Mass climate migrations are on our doorstep-whether we're feeling the effects now or not. In an attempt to do the best job possible, we rooted ourselves in the history and issues of Newtok by interviewing dozens of scientists, historians, anthropologists, philosophers and elders and by spending more than 300 days in the village. The film's producer, Marie Meade, is a Yup'ik scholar and elder with ancestral roots in Newtok and was vital to the filmmaking process, leading all Yup'ik interviews, translations and overseeing cultural accuracy. She knew the questions we didn't know to ask. Additionally, we assembled a majority female and majority Indigenous editorial and advisory board made up of scholars, historians, journalists, philosophers and village members to review rough cuts of the film and to cover the blind spots that inevitably existed in our perspective. Ultimately, this film is a collaboration with the village, and we tried to include the community in every step of the filmmaking process. The final documentary incorporates Newtok's music, home videos, poetry, theater, dance and language. Our goal was to have the people of Newtok lead the story.

The genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan is the most recent violent episode in a country where a 20-year civil war has killed an estimated two million people and displaced more than four million. The Dinka tribe has been hardest hit. Lost Boys of Sudan follows two young Dinka refugees, Peter and Santino, through their first year in America. As small boys, Peter and Santino lost their families to the war and were forced to flee their homes. Along with 20,000 other boys, they wandered hundreds of miles across the desert seeking safety. After a decade in a Kenyan refugee camp, nearly 4,000 "Lost Boys" have come to the U.S. as part of a refugee resettlement effort. Peter and Santino set out to make new lives for themselves in Houston and in Kansas City. Their struggle asks us to rethink what it means to be an American. An Independent Television Service (ITVS) co-presentation.

With Ruby J as a guide, Brooklyn spent the next few years trying to "live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her," and in the process shaped her own identity, one that intertwines her love for dirt, snow and art-and a voice with which to advocate for diversity and inclusion.

In FLEE, the Grand Jury Prize winner at this year’s Sundance Festival, filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen tells a poignant story of belonging and the search for identity. Amin’s life has been defined by his past and a secret he’s kept for over 20 years. Forced to leave his home country of Afghanistan as a young child with his mother and siblings, Amin now grapples with how his past will affect his future in Denmark and the life he is building with his soon-to-be husband. Told brilliantly through the use of animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his life, opening up for the first time about his past, his trauma, the truth about his family, and his acceptance of his own sexuality.

A Film about the Fight for America's Public Lands, from Executive Producers Robert Redford & Yvon Chouinard

Our public lands and waters are under threat.

As an extinction crisis looms and climate change continues to be one of the greatest threats our planet has ever faced, America's 640 million acres of public lands support biodiversity and carbon sequestration. It's essential that we fight for their protection by preventing the slashing of the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, fighting the potential permanent destruction of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota, and stopping the de facto sale of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge-one of the last wild places in America.

Join us in the fight to protect them.

Explore the tradition of quiltmaking in Alabama

In this short film, we meet five African American women who are acclaimed quilters and freedom-fighters. Set in the small rural community of Gee's Bend, Alabama-40 miles south of Selma-the community of women share their cultural and family heritage of quilting. As they explore their own stories, perspectives of love, religion, and the fight for civil rights, they explain the tradition of quilting that brought them together.

Gee's Bend is home to around 700 inhabitants, most of whom are descendants of the original enslaved African Americans who worked for generations in the fields of the local Pettway plantation. The art of quiltmaking has been practiced and passed down through generations of community and family by the women of Gee's Bend since the mid-nineteenth century. Gee's Bend quilts are bold, unique, and represent rich elements in the history of African American art. While I Yet Live documents the everyday lives of the women in this rural community and their expressions of grief, wisdom, joy, and love.

There is something very special about a quilt. Quilts are a unique combination of fabric, memory, and tradition. They are both utilitarian and works of art. The quilt itself is made to be used to keep warm, but warmth can also be found around a quilting frame as you share the knowledge of the art and keep a tradition alive. The women of Gee's Bend, Alabama, understand the importance of keeping traditions and community alive. In these lessons, students learn the importance of cultural heritage as well as the connection between the civil rights movement and this small community of quilt makers.

Amy Harpe, Middle School Library Media Specialist, North Carolina

Three Stories, Three Continents, One Commitment to Change

Sign up or log in to save your favorite stories and lessons, create custom collections, and share with others.

Elemental tells the story of three individuals united by their deep connection with nature and driven to confront some of the most pressing ecological challenges of our time.

The film follows Rajendra Singh, an Indian government official gone rogue, on a 40-day pilgrimage down India's once pristine Ganges river, now polluted and dying. Facing community opposition and personal doubts, Singh works to shut down factories, halt construction of dams, and rouse the Indian public to treat their sacred "Mother Ganga" with respect.

Across the globe in northern Canada, Eriel Deranger mounts her own "David and Goliath" struggle against the world's largest industrial development, the Tar Sands, an oil deposit larger than the state of Florida. A young mother and native Denè, Deranger struggles with family challenges while campaigning tirelessly against the Tar Sands and its proposed 2,000-mile Keystone XL Pipeline, which are destroying Indigenous communities and threatening an entire continent.

And in Australia, inventor and entrepreneur Jay Harman searches for investors willing to risk millions on his conviction that nature's own systems hold the key to our world's ecological problems. Harman finds his inspiration in the natural world's profound architecture and creates a revolutionary device that he believes can slow down global warming, but will it work?

Separated by continents yet sharing an unwavering commitment to protecting nature, the characters in this story are complex, flawed, postmodern heroes for whom stemming the tide of environmental destruction fades in and out of view - part mirage, part miracle.

A 1992 non-narrative documentary shot in 25 countries.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Originally shot in 25 countries on six continents, Baraka brought together a series of stunningly photographed scenes to capture what director Ron Fricke calls "a guided mediation on humanity." It was a shoot of unprecedented technical, logistical and bureaucratic scope that would take 30 months to complete, including 14 months on location, with a custom-built computerized 65mm camera.

"The goal of the ﬁlm," says producer Mark Magidson, "was to reach past language. nationality, religion and politics and speak to the inner viewer."

Baraka was one of the most acclaimed international releases of its time. A 2001 DVD release featuring a new transfer and digitally re-mastered 5.1 surround sound became one of the most popular and acclaimed discs in the format's history. But as Fricke and Magidson began to explore the capabilities of new digital techology, they would soon seize the challenge to capture the film's 70mm theatrical impact in the ultimate high definition DVD, resulting in the widely acclaimed Blu-ray release of Baraka.

This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York, and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.
