Rod Coronado is a Yaqui Native American who explains how the massacre of his people went hand in hand with the massacre of animals. The two are deeply interrelated, with the same aggressor: a system, a predatory culture. This realization led him to take an active part in ALF actions to protect animals from cruelty, slavery and extermination: “There was no time for those animals suffering in labs and fur farms and factory farms to wait to exhaust more legal means. I could see already that people for many, many years had chosen that path and although it is effective at times, it was not bringing about results quick enough for those animals now suffering. So I became involved in direct action with the Animal Liberation Front.

Soy Defensor de la Selva relates how the Sarayaku community struggles against CGC when this oil company enters Sarayaku territory in order to carry out seismic prospecting, without the consent of the community. The video shows how the Sarayaku community confronts the oil company crews in order to stop them. The conflict intensifies when the military intervenes, reaching body-to-body confrontations. The women are the main protagonists of the video. Men, women, and children go out to guard the traditional limits of the community. The film shows the life in our Camps for Peace and Life, and contains the testimonies of our elders, as well as traditional music as background. This is the story of a small community struggling to save its space of life.

UntitledAlarm-raising and catastrophist films have been made, and they have served their purpose. Now it is time to show that there are solutions. To give voice to the farmers, philosophers and economists who are inventing and experimenting with new alternatives while also explaining why our society is mired in the current ecological, financial and political crises. Pierre Rabhi, Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, the landless workers of Brazil, Kokopelli and Vandana Shiva in India, Mr. Antoniets in Ukraine... Meet the resistance fighters in love with planet Earth. The series of surprisingly concordant interviews proves that options exist and that an alternative is possible. It is a concrete response to the ecological challenges – and the crisis of civilisation in general – that we are currently in the midst of.

UntitledThe Meatrix is a humorous 4-minute Flash animation that spoofs The Matrix films while drawing attention to the problems caused by factory farming. Instead of Keanu Reeves, The Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family farm ... he thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad cow, Moopheus, who shows him the ugly truth about agribusiness, complete with a send-up of the "stop-motion" camera work immortalized by the Matrix. At the end of the movie, viewers are directed to an "action page" which provides additional information about factory farms and encourages consumers to support local family farmers and purchase sustainable-raised meats through the Eat Well Guide.
UntitledThe Planet is an attempt to find answers about the truths and untruths of the alarming global changes that many claim are already in motion. The film crews have been working for more than 2 years and have visited over 25 countries around the world. The unexpected content in The Planet will unlock the alienated attitude many people have built up in relation to the subject. The Planet is about much more than climate change. It's about the Earth as a whole - it's about the overall global changes we are experiencing right now.
UntitledCalling on hitherto unpublished documents and numerous first-hand accounts from victims, farmers and prominent scientists and politicians, The World According to Monsanto puts together the pieces of the history of this corporate giant which is tightening its grasp on the world seed market, but styles itself as a “life sciences company” that simply wants to solve world hunger while protecting the environment.
