Welcoming Remarks

Exporting Harm (23 min.). Dir. Basel Action Network; Information: yuka@ban.org. This disturbing documentary shows how computer “recycling” centers in the United States export outdated monitors, keyboards, and other components to China, where villagers take them apart and thus expose themselves and their local environments to toxic pollutants. Information: www.ban.org/.

When is Enough, Enough? The Appetite for Oil (47 min.) Dir. Geoff Bowie; Information: www.bullfrogfilms.com/. Underneath one of the greatest freshwater deltas on earth is one of the richest oil deposits in the world. This film shares the story of a first nation community in Canada that is battling major oil companies over development on tribal lands.
