Regenerating a Forest with Goats
A community-led initiative in a bush fire-prone town in Dja Dja Wurrung country in Victoria, Australia is successfully using goats and hand tools rather than herbicides, machinery, and burn-offs to mitigate fire risk. Goathand Cooperatives’ work reduces fire risk, keeps the forest thriving, and is bringing the community together. (12 min) Sorry, no trailer available.
FAMILY FRIENDLY!
The Caretakers
A journey into the weird, wonderful and truly astonishing lives of the small yet mighty creatures who keep the world turning – beetles. They have been successful for millions of years, yet they’re in serious trouble; what does the future hold for these incredibly important animals, and for us if they disappear? (22 min)
BY LOCAL FILMMAKER SARAH GULICK
Healing Across the Waters
After their villages are crushed by a glacier, determined Alaska Natives return to their ancestral homeland, now a national park. Beautiful visuals accompany a tapestry of voices from the Huna Tlingit and the National Park Service revealing a decades long journey of loss and healing. (32 min) Sorry, no trailer available.
