Tengefu

Abubakar fights to save his island's dying coral reef through community and faith.

Award Winner: Best in Theme - "Resilient by Nature" Over the past century, farming and the needs of a growing population have replaced nearly all of Ethiopia’s old-growth forests with agricultural fields. This film tells the story of the country’s Church Forests–pockets of lush biodiversity that are protected by hundreds of churches “scattered like emerald pearls across the brown sea of farm fields.” FEATURED IN: SUNDAY AWARD WINNERS SESSIONThis session includes: Tengefu (9 min) | The Church Forests of Ethiopia (9 min) | The Last Ice (83 min)

The Church Forests of Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, church forests are withstanding environmental destruction — but just barely.

Award Winner: Best of Festival As the sea ice between Canada and Greenland melts, the outside world sees unprecedented opportunity. Oil and gas deposits, faster shipping routes, tourism, and fishing all provide financial incentive to exploit the newly opened waters. But for more than 100,000 Inuit who live in the Arctic, on and around the frozen ocean, an entire way of life is at stake. Development here threatens to upset the balance between their communities, land and wildlife, leaving the future of this region and their culture increasingly uncertain. Directed by Scott Ressler and executive produced by Dr. Enric Sala, National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence and founder of National Geographic Pristine Seas, The Last Ice, tells the story of Inuit communities fighting to protect the rapidly disappearing Arctic that has been their home for centuries.
