- DirectorSue WilliamsStarsGarrett BrownDan CassAnne GalliganConsumers love - and live on - their smartphones, tablets and laptops. A cascade of new devices pours endlessly into the market, promising even better communication, non-stop entertainment and instant information. The numbers are staggering. By 2020, four billion people will have a personal computer. Five billion will own a mobile phone. But this revolution has a dark side, hidden from most consumers. In an investigation that spans the globe, filmmaker Sue Williams investigates the underbelly of the electronics industry and reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs. From the intensely secretive factories in China, to a ravaged New York community and the high tech corridors of Silicon Valley, the film tells a story of environmental degradation, of health tragedies, and the fast approaching tipping point between consumerism and sustainability.

- DirectorRose MadroneStarsFritjof CapraRobert ConsentinoGreg DardisHow many times have you wondered, "Does what I do make a difference in the world?" Connectivity Project explores this ever- present question, examining the ripple effects our actions can have in an interconnected world. By focusing on how various cultures and traditions embody an interconnected way of being, to scientific awareness of this very understanding, to the cycles of pollination, to speaking out about what you believe in, these films vividly and beautifully open one's understanding to the impact our choices can have. Connectivity Project features interviews with tribal elders, noted scientists, naturalists, and activists, whose stories and perspectives show that small actions can indeed have large impacts. If we saw the world differently, would it change the way we get involved, how we treat each other, where we spend our money, what we vote for? This refreshing film instills a deeper sense of awe, belonging, and yes, responsibility, inspiring informed choices and conscious action. Topics range from social justice, diversity, social studies, science, pollination, communication, comparative religions, and health.
