Maya Land: Listening to the Bees tells the story of the conflict that erupted between Maya beekeepers and the Mexican government in 2011, fomented by the planting of genetically modified soy in the Yucatan peninsula. The film focuses on the role that Mayas’ pre-colonial and ongoing relationship with the bees and the bees themselves had in this conflict and how in the end the struggle has transformed thinking about development in the region.

Maya Land: Listening to the Bees

Set in fictional year 2087. Six years since The Great Switch. Fossil fuels outlawed, food rationed, capitalism dismantled. And Natural Service, a network of community farms that all young people aged 18 - 23 are required to live and work on by law, is a nation-wide success story. For most people that is. For Heather and Lou it’s their reality. A plot of corn to harvest and an air of silence to fill - the two Stewards are alone. Heather is quiet yet unwavering. Lou wants to talk frankly, openly. But that’s the one thing they can’t do here. Well, that and have a hot shower. Lou will have to be delicate, subtle, strategic, if she’s to have any success in unearthing the bare and honest truth that Heather has kept buried for so long. ‘Natural Service’ grounds us in the messy and complicated reality of a utopian society. In the face of our climate crisis, Lou and Heather’s world illuminates how fine a line a utopian system must tread; one misplaced step unveiling its dystopic parallels. Surveillance, restriction, frugality and punishment. Are these the bounds we must endure to do the right thing? To restore the balance we destroyed? Call to Action:﻿We would like to promote as many local and international charities who are raising awareness for the climate crisis as possible. One of these is Friends of the Earth (https://friendsoftheearth.uk/donate/join-fight-people-and-planet-donate-today). We are calling people to find out what their local government or council are doing to be more green, and find petitions in their local area to encourage more sustainable practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Billionaire philanthropists are pushing US-style industrial agriculture around the globe—including in Africa, contributing to pollution and colonization. Learn how industrial agriculture is the single largest cause of biodiversity loss worldwide, fails to solve hunger, and hurts small-scale farmers and the planet. At a time when global hunger is on the rise and the pandemic has dramatically impacted global food systems, corporations are gaining even more control over agriculture than ever. The Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the largest private charitable foundation in the world, is leading the way in pushing global agricultural development priorities toward industrial and chemical-intensive models--including in Africa, through their investments in the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Rich Appetities, developed by AGRA Watch and the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, explains why exporting the US agribusiness model to Africa is a grave mistake. Call to Action:https://www.richappetitesfilm.com/#join-our-movement Join the movement to support sustainable food systems like agroecology, instead of billionaire-driven industrial agriculture, in Africa and worldwide. By signing up, you’ll hear the latest news from AFSA and AGRA Watch and learn about opportunities to support small-scale food producers leading the way for climate-resilient food systems.

In a captivating journey, a community of nomadic sea gypsies, the Sama Dilaut, is discovered on the shores of Sabah, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Forced to leave their sea-dwelling life due to conflicts, environmental degradation, and the rise of commercial fishing, they face displacement, lack of basic human rights, and the harsh reality of statelessness. Amidst their struggle to survive and find one meal each day, they remain unaware of the looming threat that endangers their very existence—climate change. Call to Action:https://borneochildaid.org/ Borneo Child Aid&nbsp;is providing education for 2000 marginalized and stateless children in Sabah, Malaysia and in Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. The Society presently operates 20 Children's Centres on remote islands and in town areas on Borneo and in the province of Tawi-Tawi, Philippines. Presently about 2000 children are enrolled at the centres, and the need is much bigger. Our aim is to expand the centres to more communities and islands and to reach many more of the thousands of children without access to schools.

The Engine Inside—a new feature-length documentary narrated by Phill Liggett—tells the stories of six everyday people from all over the globe who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world. Through their stories, the film uncovers the often-overlooked potential of this 200-year-old machine, exploring its impact on a wide range of global issues such as physical and mental health, socioeconomic inequality and climate change. By shining a light on people who have embraced cycling as a way to overcome daunting personal and systemic challenges, The Engine Inside ultimately asks viewers to reconsider their own perspective. Is there a transformative power within us all that can be unlocked through the simple act of riding a bike? Unique cinematography techniques were used throughout the principal photography to get RED camera gimbals on bike level and moving through the streets from a cyclist's perspective. This allowed 8k hi-dynamic range footage to be shot in fast-moving documentary-style situations using natural light. All new sound design techniques were implemented to generate post-production sound design palates straight from the production source by having the sound supervisor sent to all shoot locations. This allowed the final mixed sound design to be created from the true authentic audio of all synced and non-synced foley, SFX and backgrounds. As an example, the Indigenous drum band circle is the live outside performance recorded in real-time in surround sound capture of individual performers, main drum and ambience reverbs.
