Half of the world's six billion people are under the age of 25. The decisions they make about how many children to have, and when to have them, will be critical in shaping life on earth in the next 50 years. But what factors are shaping these young people's decisions? This thought-provoking documentary is, stated simply, the best and most comprehensive introduction available on video to the interconnected issues of population growth, economic development, equal rights and opportunities for women, and environmental protection around the world. The film interweaves expert commentary with incisive portraits of young people in six diverse countries -- Mexico, Italy, Kenya, India, China, and the USA -- to illustrate how young people are making decisions about their lifestyles, patterns of consumption, and reproductive choices. The film demonstrates how these decisions will have an extraordinary impact on the world's environment, and how in turn the condition of the environment will strongly affect the quality of people's lives everywhere. "Six Billion and Beyond" is a seminal work that will richly reward showing in a wide range of courses on economic development, population issues, the environment, sociology, and women's studies. It was produced by Linda Harrar Productions and is hosted and narrated by noted actress Blythe Danner.

In The Wake of Our Ancestors follows a group of dedicated Hawaiians, who embark on a journey to rediscover their past by building a voyaging canoe out of traditional natural materials. An extensive search fails to produce koa trees large enough for the hulls. The once plentiful forests on the island of Hawai’i have been depleted, and the unique koa ecosystem virtually destroyed. In order to continue with the project, another source of timber had to be located. Native Alaskans offer them two enormous Sitka spruce trees. After a dramatic tree felling ceremony in the forests of Southeast Alaska, the logs arrive in Hawai‘i, and builders begin shaping the canoe’s hulls. The generous gift from the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Southeast Alaska brings new hope for the canoe project and leads to discovery of strong cultural connections. The new awareness about the endangered forests shifts the project’s mission — and the film’s focus — from the search for koa trees to the commitment to replant them. This story of an indigenous people’s frustrated search for trees that are endemic to their islands represents a microcosm of the threats facing diminishing native cultures and natural environments in the modern world. Written, Produced and Directed by Gail K. Evenari. Editor - Yasha Aginsky. Cinematographers - Robert Elfstrom, Robert Hillmann. Sound Recordists - Ray Day, Curtis Choy. Musical Score - Randy Craig. Aloha Hawaiki Theme - Ku‘i Ka‘o Iho and Aloha Tahiti Hula, Written by Randie Fong, Performed by Kamehameha Schools. Paintings by Herb Kawainui Kane

In Henoko, the construction of the U.S. Marine Corps base continues despite the objections of 80% of Okinawans. In Takae, the Government deployed over 1,000 riot police officers to facilitate the construction of MV-22 Osprey helipads. Protests continue despite the injuries and arrests of protesters. Simultaneously there are plans to build Self Defense Force missile sites and camps on Miyako and Ishigaki islands. But hosting a military facility also means that the islands risk being a military target. And as proven in the Battle of Okinawa over 70 years ago, the military force doesn't prioritize civilians' lives. The role of the protests is particularly urgent now as Japan has drastically changed its national security policy. The people in this film are at the frontline of a battle for peace as they safeguard democracy. Also woven into the film is the islands' rich culture with its nature and history.
