The Xavante Indians in Eteniritipa, Brazil, face pressure from the government to open up the river that sustains them, to commercial traffic. This hypnotic documentary is the Xavante people's challenge to the world. The message comes to us not through conventional narration, but through the voices of the village elders themselves. The tribe is clinging to tradition as hard as they can, hoping there will be enough forest left for them. Edited to the beat of Xavante dance, this deeply moving film is a plea from the heart of an ancient race that asks: will we allow such distinct and self-sufficient cultures to survive in this age of global capitalism?

John Huston overcame a serious childhood illness that lasted several years to become a Hollywood legend as an actor, screenwriter and director; he won an Oscar directing The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and somehow made time to be involved with documentary films. Confirming his love of nature and the outdoors, he narrated this classic documentary, which takes us to Heron Cove, Washington, to explore the ecology of the land between oceans and fresh waters - the estuary. Estuaries we discover are a dramatic part of the environment, and no other wetland has such diversity of life. We see trumpeter swans, which are the world's largest waterfowl; we visit Puget Sound, an estuary that consists of four interconnected basins; here salt water from the ocean is mixed with fresh water draining from the surrounding watershed.

'Recommended. This program is uncommonly good. Gale Ciardi is a self-described "jack of all trades" whose work renders her part scientist, part enforcement officer and part firefighter. She is a fourth generation protector of watersheds who loves her job despite many unfortunate encounters with sexism.' -EMRO Review 'Recommended. A strong, lush and forceful documentary.' -Akira Lippit, Univ. of CA/Irvine
The importance of clean, safe to drink, water is necessary for all living things, thus one of the most valued environmental resources for humans is our watersheds. So who's watching our watersheds? Fortunately, there are trained watershed keepers dedicated to that task. This classic documentary chronicles a typical day of work for Gayle Ciardi, who was the first woman watershed keeper for the San Francisco Water Department. More than a profile of her vocation, this program strives to inspire people to learn more about watersheds, restoration, and water resource management, which are so vital to our overall well being.

Located in America's Pacific Northwest is one of nature's most rare ecosystems, the temperate rainforest, a place where over 140 inches of rain falls each year. This timely documentary provides an illuminating portrait of this quickly vanishing treasure, which offers important opportunities to protect biodiversity and slow climate change. Retaining nearly 13% of its old-growth Douglas fir forests, the temperate rainforest is one of the most efficient storehouses of carbon; also it provides critical breeding and feeding habitat to a range of species.

Water connects our world: linking continents; linking people; linking lives. It is the one precious resource that every single person in the world relies on for survival. But by the end of the century, almost half the world could face a global water shortage, as water usage increases at twice the rate of population growth. In Kenya, the Massai are adapting to water shortages with the use of rainwater tanks. An Israeli scientist is solving the problems of the Dead Sea’s sinkholes. Iceland is tapping volcanic rocks for water and harnessing geothermal energy. Around the world, the IUCN water programme is helping to restore balance to worldwide water distribution issues. Also on this episode, Zambia learns water conservation techniques; evolutions in recycling water, and harnessing wave energy; and Sweden’s first marine park.
