This new film Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk, combines exhilarating river-rafting action on America's most iconic river, family fun, and the grandeur of the Grand Canyon to tell an engaging story of how ordinary people can make a difference for our parched planet- one that is running out of clean, fresh water so fast that the U.N. estimates that 40% of the world could face-life-threatening shortages by the year 2050. Taking audiences on this illuminating rafting trip are two environmental heroes: world-renowned river advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and author/anthropologist/explorer Wade Davis, accompanied by their daughters. They are guided by Shana Watahomigie, a member of the Havasupai tribe and first Native American to become a National Park Ranger and river guide. A stirring score featuring songs and music from the Grammy Award winning Dave Matthews Band sets the mood for this adventure that explores the spiritual, artistic, and life-sustaining powers of water- and makes crystal clear that each of us must do our part to better manage this crucial resource for the future.

August 28, 2007, 10 p.m. by Drury Gunn Carr and Doug Hawes-Davis Nestled below the rugged peaks of the Northern Rockies in Montana - as iconic a representation of America's "purple mountain majesties" as one can find - lies the worst case of community-wide exposure to a toxic substance in U.S. history. In the small town of Libby, many hundreds of people are sick or have already died from asbestos exposure. "Libby, Montana" takes a long working day's journey into a blue-collar community, and finds a different reality - one where the American Dream exacts a terrible price.

July 17, 2007, 10 p.m. by Eric Daniel Metzgar and Nell Carden Grey A decade ago, after an epiphany at a New York restaurant, Richard Ogust began dedicating his time and resources to rescuing endangered turtles -- confiscating hundreds bound for Southeast Asian food markets. When the filmmakers catch up with the 50-year-old writer, he is sharing his Manhattan loft with 1,200 turtles, including five species extinct in the wild. But his growing "ark" and preservation efforts are threatening to exhaust him, both mentally and financially. With luminous images and a haunting musical score, the award-winning "The Chances of the World Changing" documents two years in the life of a man who finds himself struggling to save hundreds of lives, including his own.

Environmental Media has produced media to support the work of environmental and education organizations for more than fifteen years, yet until we began working on Journey of the Loggerhead, we had not come in contact with so many people with such passion for one goal: the worldwide conservation of marine turtles. We designed and filmed this interactive DVD in the company of countless staff and volunteers of local nesting beach monitoring programs, domestic and international agencies, colleges and universities, aquaria, nature centers, and rehabilitation programs. The sum of our work is this interactive DVD containing GIS data, satellite tracking information, still photographs, extensive interviews, and a 26-minute video about the loggerhead and other marine turtle species.
