By: Joanna Bartholomew

Over six desperate days in October 1929, the New York Stock Exchange crashed leading to the collapse of three thousand banks, taking people's savings with them. In a matter of days, the United States economy was obliterated. The crash was followed by a devastating worldwide depression that lasted until the Second World War. Finances did not regain their pre-crash values until 1954. This film recounts the story of a financial disaster that we hoped could never happen again, revealing the familiar tune of cheap credit, consumerism, greed, corruption and cronyism in the current-day financial crisis...

By: Adrian Connock, David Shayler

There is an abundance of scientific and forensic evidence to support alternative theories of what happened on September 11, 2001 -- yet the BBC and other mainstream news corporations continue to dismiss the information.

The stories changed, information was enigmatically omitted, and what can only be described as officially prescribed propaganda took the place of indisputable reality.

A Farm For The Future

By: Rebecca Hosking

345 views

A Farm For The Future follows wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking as she investigates how to transform her family's farm in Devon, England, into a low energy farm with future peak energy concerns considered. With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to the farm to become the next generation to work the land, and the journey begins as she realises that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on cheap, abundant fossil fuel, particularly oil. After setting out to discover just how 'secure' the oil supply is and being alarmed by the answers, Rebecca is motivated to explore ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, A Farm For The Future shows that it is actually a return to nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future.

Traversing five countries -- China, France, UK, Japan and Australia, A Hard Rain takes a closer look at the global nuclear industry in its entirety -- from uranium mining through to the nuclear power plant, to radioactive waste and weapons manufacturing -- exposing the motivations behind the latest push for Australia to go nuclear, and why this is not a good idea...

We have not just been living through a global recession, but what amounts to the largest coordinated, economic crime in recent history. Now, having barely survived a complete collapse of the financial system, the global economy is tottering on the brink. We’ve reached the limits of what our desires demand of the planet and what it can deliver. But, by looking to past failed civilisations, can we learn what not to do with our future? Like the ancient Mayans, we’re reaching peak everything -- oil, land, population, climate, food and water and the question is whether we can manage the change. But as we embark on a quest for re-building a sustainable economy and a sustainable planet, is this crisis the wake-up call we desperately need to have? Do we need to turn eco-warriors into eco-capitalists and launch the next great bubble -- a Green Bubble?

Addicted To Plastic investigates what we really know--and don't know--about this material. Talking to manufacturers, recyclers, cleaners, scientists and others, Addicted To Plastic shows plastic's toxic legacy and devastating ecological impact, provoking serious questions about health, food and the environment...

By: Aaron Franz

Transhumanists claim a beautiful and apparently now-not-so-distant utopian future made possible by artificial intelligence, life extension and cybernetic technologies. But upon examining the convergence of these technologies and the history behind them, Age Of Transitions details how this movement of "transcending human limits" was born out of pseudo-science eugenics, and what the implications are for a world divided by the have's and have-not's.
