The Erie Situation
Run Time: 01:12:00
Country of Origin: United States
Language: English
Genre: Documentary, Environmental
As climate, politics, and agricultural interests collide, the health of Lake Erie - and that of humans - hang in the balance. In 2014, the citizens of Toledo, Ohio, had to go without running water for three days when a bloom of toxic algae entered the drinking water plant from Lake Erie. This should have been a wake-up call for politicians, big agriculture, and citizens everywhere that freshwater resources are at risk of becoming toxic worldwide. THE ERIE SITUATION explores the confluence of science, public sentiment, politics, and the powerful farming lobby as Ohio wrestles with how to confront the drivers of toxic algae. What's at stake? Who's at risk? And will volunteer measures be enough to confront this growing crisis, both in Ohio and beyond?

The Democratic Republic of Congo could feed almost 1 in 2 people on Earth.
Yet one in six Congolese people suffer from hunger. Yet one in two Congolese suffers from moderate acute malnutrition. Yet agriculture accounts for 70% of the population there.
Faced with this paradox, the peasants regroup in agricultural cooperatives. A handful of them share their daily lives with us, that of all those they represent.
Even if they don't know each other, live thousands of hundreds of kilometers from each other, participate in different agricultural sectors, their voices resonate in this powerful, sensitive and sincere documentary.

Run Time: 01:11:48
Country of Origin: Italy
Language: Italian
Genre: Documentary
Southern Italy has been hit by the most serious and devastating phytosanitary emergency of the century. A quarantine bacterium, called Xylella Fastidiosa, killed 21 million olive trees, disrupting landscapes, economy, and human relationships. There is still no cure for this botanical infection and the epidemic is advancing north, threatening the territories of European Union.
A destiny that suddenly brings terribly close forgotten issues on the political agenda of our country: desertification, climate change, global warming, globalization of markets and the arrival of new pathogenic organisms imported from distant countries.
