Age of Uncertainty. Episode 2
This is an era of changing climate, erratic weather, and social calamities that could change our way of life forever. Each year the earth grows warmer, degree by degree - that started with the Industrial Revolution, population growth, and our demand for technology, speed and power. This three-part series was filmed on four continents and endorsed by leading scientists. The 1990s was the warmest decade in 1000 years and the carbon in the Earth's atmosphere is higher than it has been in 420,000 years and climbing. This series goes beyond the science and impacts of climate change to look at exciting ideas and technologies that will create a truly sustainable future. It is narrated by Alanis Morissette and Keanu Reeves. This episode reveals the often surprising consequences of climate change through the stories of real people already living through them - it is more than just heat.

Asbestos. Canada's Ugly Secret
Asbestos is a mineral that was once widely used in the construction industry. Canada produces about ten percent of the world's supply, but because it can cause severe lung problems, its use in Canada is limited. Instead, most of it is shipped to developing countries. Asbestos sales are helping a dying industry in Canada, but sickening and killing workers in countries like India.

Milking the Rhino
This video examines the human-wildlife co-existence in post-colonial Africa. Two African cultures are highlighted - Kenya's Maasai tribe and Namibia's Himba tribe. Both communities suffered under a century of "white man conservation" which turned lands into game reserves and took away the traditional lifestyle of the two communities. The Himba and Maasai communities now want a piece of the wildlife-tourism pie. Community-based conservation tries to balance the needs of wildlife and people. The Himba and Maasai ancient ways of doing things meets Western expectations and both communities face deep cultural change.

Prisoners of Prejudice: Canada's First National Internment Operations 1914-1920
The Canadian Government actively recruited Ukrainians to develop the Canadian west. Yet, in 1914, the same country that had invited the Ukrainians from Austria-Hungary classified them as "enemy aliens" and interned many of the men. The Ukrainian Canadian internment was part of the detention of "enemy aliens" in Canada, lasting from 1914 to 1920, under the terms of the War Measures Act. During the internment, Ukrainian people lost employment, were treated as subversives, their wealth was confiscated, and they were used as forced labour. This resource reveals the historical injustice done to the Ukrainian people who were judged not because of anything they had done, but only because of who they were and where they came from.
The CD-ROM includes a teacher guide and PowerPoint.

Tar Sands: Canada for Sale
Tar Sands: Canada for Sale captures the intersecting storyline of a remarkable cast of characters eager to cash in on the oil boom in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Washington lobbyists, pipefitters from Newfoundland, Chinese investors and Norwegian industrialists descend on tar-soaked Fort McMurray, a modern-day Eldorado, where rents are skyrocketing and cocaine abuse is four times the provincial average. Up for grabs - a stake in the $100 billion energy bonanza and Canada's economic sovereignty. this documentary tracks the growth of the world's largest reserve of 'unconventional' oil.
This Florida-sized 'environmental sacrifice zone' has become Canada's contribution to the U.S. energy security in the post-9/11 world. Yet, for many, the tar sands are a global warming disaster. As Fort McMurray bursts at the seams, children from Thunder Bay to Cape Breton are made tar-sands orphans by their migrant-worker parents. Canada's petrodollar breaks the back of the manufacturing economy in the East. Cancer rates skyrocket downstream of Fort McMurray while Rocky Mountain glaciers melt and disappear. And all the while, Alberta crude goes south to U.S. markets while Eastern Canada pays ever more for insecure Middle East oil. In an isolated region of the north, Canada's future is being carved out of the forest at the breakneck pace. "Tar Sands: Canada for Sale" questions how much Canada is willing to sacrifice for a stake in this century's greatest energy bonanza.
