Our existence on this planet is precarious. This film exposes globalisation and the mantra of infinite growth in a finite world for what it really is: an environmental and human disaster. But across India marginal farmers are fighting back. By reviving an arcane form of agriculture, they are saving their poisoned lands and exposing the bio-colonialism of multinational corporations. One Man, One Cow, One Plant tells their story through the teachings of an expert in biodynamic agriculture, Peter Proctor, who teaches organic and biodynamic methods in India. This film is a model for a post-industrial future. The result of the battle for control of agriculture in India may dictate the future of the planet.

In a world living in fear of climate change, the nuclear industry has put its hand up as a solution. It claims that nuclear power generation produces zero carbon emissions... and people are listening. There are currently 27 nuclear power stations under construction, and projections for another 136 to be commenced within the next decade. The industry sees climate change as its saviour, as a way of making the nuclear industry look environmentally friendly – which, to be frank, it never has. But is there a risk that we might be jumping out of the carbon frying pan and into the plutonium fire? The Nuclear Comeback goes on a worldwide tour of the nuclear industry in search of answers – visiting some of the planet\'s most famous nuclear facilities.
