PLAY AGAIN - For many people, especially children, screens have become the de facto medium by which the greater world is experienced. A virtual world of digitally transmitted pictures, voices, and scenarios has become more real to this generation than the world of sun, water, air, and living organisms, including fellow humans.
This moving and humorous documentary follows six teenagers who, like the “average American child,” spend five to fifteen hours a day behind screens. PLAY AGAIN unplugs these teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure – no electricity, no cell phone coverage, no virtual reality.
This movie is not just for parents it present the opportunity to relate back to your own screen time and ask - how addicted am I?

The film also profiles a new generation of consumers, designers and business people who have started challenging planned obsolescence as an unsustainable economic driver.

TRASHED - We buy it, we bury it, we burn it and then we ignore it. We keep making things that do not break down. Earth Carers have all heard these horrifying facts before, but with Jeremy Irons as our guide in TRASHED, we discover what happens to the billion or so tons of waste that goes unaccounted for each year.
Jeremy Irons sets out to discover the extent and effects of the global waste problem, as he travels around the world to beautiful destinations tainted by pollution. He goes in search of solutions. From individuals who have changed their lives and produce almost no waste, to increasing anti-waste legislation, to an entire city which is now virtually waste-free, he discovers that change is not only essential, but happening.
