Everything's Cool
'Everything's Cool' is a film about America finally "getting" global warming in the wake of the most dangerous chasm ever to emerge between scientific understanding and political action. While industry funded nay-sayers sing what just might be their swan song of pseudo-scientific deception, a group of self-appointed global warming messengers are on a high stakes quest to find the iconic image, the magic language, the points of leverage that will finally create the political will to move the United States from its reliance on fossil fuels to the new clean energy economy - and fast. Hold on...this is bigger than changing your light bulbs.

'Sentenced Home' puts a human face on the ongoing deportations of Cambodian Americans, following the heart-breaking sagas of three young men full-circle: from birth in Cambodia to an unwilling return decades later. Raised as Americans in inner-city Seattle, each made a rash decision as a teenager that irrevocably shaped his destiny. Now they find themselves caught between a tragic past and an uncertain future by a system that doesn't offer any second chances. 'Sentenced Home' reflects with them about their birth in the Killing Fields, their youth on America's mean streets, and their struggles in courtrooms and prisons, and follows them through their unwilling return to Cambodia decades later.

Bill McKibben, 2003
"For fifteen years now, some small percentage of the world's scientists and diplomats and activists has inhabited one of those strange dreams where the dreamer desperately needs to warn someone about something bad and imminent; but somehow, no matter how hard he shouts, the other person in the dream - standing smiling, perhaps, with his back to an oncoming train- can't hear him. This group, this small percentage, knows that the world is about to change more profoundly than at any time in the history of human civilization. And yet, so far, all they have achieved is to add another line to the long list of human problems - people think about 'global warming' in the way they think about 'violence on television' or 'growing trade deficits', as a marginal concern to them, if a concern at all."
