- A revolutionary group of activists, scientists, farmers, and politicians band together in a global movement of "Regenerative Agriculture" that could balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.
- The solution of Regenerative farmers to bring soil health across the continent and beyond.
- The search follows explorer Steve Elkins and a team of archaeologists, anthropologists, scientists and filmmakers in this true-life adventure, to search one of the last unexplored places on Earth for a lost Maya city.
- The film takes a look at human origins in the very place of our origins, Africa's Rift Valley, where one of the world's last remaining hunter-gatherer groups, the Hadza, have lived sustainably for over 50,000 years. The Hadza's foraging lifestyle is much like that of our earliest ancestors, and many consider the group to be the oldest population in East Africa. Their way of life, which characterizes most of human existence, is currently under attack -- and a vital tie to our evolutionary roots may be lost forever. In addition to the remarkable Hadza people, the film also features Jane Goodall, Richard Wrangham, Wangari Maathai and a host of anthropologists, geneticists and other experts. The film presents intriguing theories about the evolution and origin of Homo Sapiens, while also examining the delicate balance of human aggression and cooperation that is at our core.
- The Marginal Way, once an old Native American trail, is now a famous south coastal Maine attraction. Like the trail, the film roams through the Ogunquit Village, following the artists, fishermen, hippies, hermits, and the pensioners who call this place home. A portrait of Ogunquit, Maine, The Marginal Way is told through the lives of its residents and tourists in the summer of 1973. This hour-long film was shown nationally on PBS through WNET New York.
- Diamond Rivers is a portrait of Geraldo Santos da Silva, part of a dying breed of diamond prospectors who still scour the riverbanks of Brazil looking for this rare gemstone. In his eighties, Geraldo continues to prospect as he reflects on the boom-and-bust cycle of the sleepy town he refused to leave. His children have long since gone, and the few remaining neighbors practice the arts of caçhaca and barrell-making, in the same way they did before the diamonds were discovered there. The wind flaps through the shutters of this near-abandoned town, and more people live under tombstones than walk the streets. The church and the market are the two remaining centers of this town, where the circus passes through every five years. Geraldo himself says, the diamond prospector has no future, no stability. He lives only for the day, but then again there are some very good days. Good days indeed.
- Easter Island Rises was Bill Benenson's directorial debut. Shot in 1970 with the support of The International Monuments Fund, the film focuses on the shipment of one of the famous Easter Island moai statues to the US, where it was displayed at Seagram's Plaza in New York City.
