Een Groen Herstel [A Green Recovery] is an ethnographic film about the LOP (Landscape Maintenance Project) of GGZ Rivierduinen. It follows the story of Chris alongside the work this group does. This project was started for young people with mental issues. While working with the group the members learn to work together with their colleagues, have structure in their lives and have responsibilities. While working for big organisations such as Staatsbosbeheer and Zuid-Hollands Landschap, the group needs to fulfil tasks in order to maintain the landscape. This includes cutting and winching trees, but also putting up fences and collecting garbage. The film is not situated in one place and explores both the group as the different nature-landscapes of the Netherlands. From dunes to meadows and from private estates to forests. Chris who is recovering from a psychosis tells his story and Liesbeth the activity counsellor tells how everything works.

According to Environment Canada, floods are the costliest natural disaster in Canada in terms of property damage. They are also the most common. In this new production from filmmaker Matt LeMay, we look at extreme weather events, in particular flooding. Using Belleville, ON as the primary example, we hear homeowners discuss their fears and experiences as the rising waters of Lake Ontario pummelled their homes and properties in the spring of 2017. Communities across the country experienced similar disasters. Brian Kelly, Manager of Sustainability for the Region of Durham discusses the importance of communities learning to adapt to the impact of climate change to mitigate the risks. Important infrastructure changes must take place across the country as many culverts, drainage ditches, river banks, roads and bridges were designed for the climate we experienced 50+ years ago. For too long, we have fuelled the needs of industry at the expense of the environment and safety of our communities.

Over three years ago, Versova beach in Mumbai was little more than a dumping ground for garbage and waste. After witnessing the devastating impact the refuse was having on the ocean, Afroz Shah decided to take matters into his own hands. What started off as a single man’s mission to clean up his favorite childhood beach turned into the world’s largest beach cleanup initiative. As of today, Shah and hundreds of volunteers have cleaned up over nine million kilograms of plastic and waste, with hopes to expand their initiative to other beaches in the future. This Great Big Story was made possible by Wells Fargo.
