A legenda szerint Tanglewood szépsége annyira lenyűgözte az odaérkező harcosokat, hogy megesküdtek, örökre ottmaradnak és megvédik mindenáron. Tanglewood erdői felett ma is ott lebeg a titokzatos köd. Mikor az odalátogatók elhatározzák, hogy betörnek erre az érintetlen területre, még nem tudják, hogy kikkel állnak szemben. A legenda életre kel.
Az egyrészt fenséges, másrészt életveszélyes emberi haladás történetét mutatja be filmünk. Rámutatunk arra a halálos kockázatra, amit egy XXI. századi szoftver - szakértelmünk - futtatása jelent egy ősi hardveren - főemlősagyunkon -, amelynek ötvenezer éve nem jelent meg frissített verziója. A gazdag képanyag és a magukkal ragadó hangfelvételek segítségével utazásra indulunk, hogy elmélkedjünk fejlődésünkről a barlanglakó életmódtól a világűr felfedezéséig. Ronald Wright A fejlődés rövid története című sikerkönyvében, mely filmünk alapjául szolgált, bemutatja, hogyan pusztítja el újra és újra a civilizációkat "a fejlődés csapdája" - azzal, hogy a technológiákat az igények azonnali kielégítésére használja fel, és ezt a jövővel fizetteti meg.
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.

Anita Chitaya has a gift: she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and maybe she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home in Malawi from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real. Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, she meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions that shape the USA: from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, and to the American exceptionalism that remains a part of the culture. It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognise, and free themselves from, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.

Africa's development is being held back by poor infrastructure and undersized power plants. Countries like Uganda can only produce only 1/4 of the energy needed, leading to daily power cuts with disastrous economic impacts. It's a golden opportunity for nuclear giants who lobby aggressively for more power plants in Africa. But how safe are these new reactors? And what do they mean for the locals?
Inhabit is a feature length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture, economics, governance, and on. The film presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and it translates the diversity of permaculture into something that can be understood by an equally diverse audience. For those familiar, it will be a call to action and a glimpse into what's possible - what kind of projects and solutions are already underway. For those unfamiliar, it will be an introduction to a new way of being and a new way of relating to the Earth. For everyone, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces.
