- An in depth study of Adams's life and work.
- Native Wind tells the story of bringing sustainable and environmentally sound economic opportunity to Native People through wind power development on twelve Council On Utility Policy (COUP) reservations. Native Wind examines the grassroots movement that is driving the vision of COUP's Environmental Justice Demonstration Project Plan, a ten year effort to bring 3000 megawatts of wind energy to the reservations by 2015 and supply clean energy to participating tribes and cities creating a "tribal-city" partnership. The Plan is a template for the transition to a tribally controlled and economically sustainable homeland through the integration of wind energy into the existing national grid system, helping to create a "National Renewable Energy Grid". Throughout the film, we show COUP's efforts to push for the day when renewable energy production is the leading economic development opportunity and job creation engine on tribal lands.
- Few American artists have reached a wider audience, or enjoyed more widespread popularity in their own lifetime, than Ansel Adams. None has had more profound an impact on how Americans grasp the majesty of their continent, or done more to transform how people think and feel about the meaning of the natural world. A visionary photographer, a pioneer in photographic technique and a crusader for the environment, Adams would take part in an extraordinary revolution: in photography, and ways of seeing what he called "the continuous beauty of the things that are." His greatest photographs would seek to capture "the instant of revelation -- of timelessness" amidst the evanescence of the natural world. Ansel Adams is the intimate portrait of a great artist and ardent environmentalist -- for whom life and art, photography and wilderness, creativity and communication, love and expression, were inextricably connected. ANSEL ADAMS, a ninety-minute documentary film written and directed by Ric Burns, and broadcast on national public television in April 2002, provides an elegant, moving and lyrical portrait of this most eloquent and quintessentially American of photographers.
