Mine, narrated by Joanna Lumley, tells the story of the remote Dongria Kondh tribe's struggle to protect Niyamgiri, the mountain they worship as a God. London-based mining company Vedanta Resources plans a vast open-pit bauxite mine in India's Niyamgiri hills, and the Dongria Kondh know that means the destruction of their forests, their way of life, and their mountain God.

A Thousand Suns
A Thousand Suns tells the story of the Gamo Highlands of the African Rift Valley and the unique worldview held by the people of the region. This isolated area has remained remarkably intact both biologically and culturally. It is one of the most densely populated rural regions of Africa yet its people have been farming sustainably for 10,000 years. Shot in Ethiopia, New York and Kenya, the film explores the modern world's untenable sense of separation from and superiority over nature and how the interconnected worldview of the Gamo people is fundamental in achieving long-term sustainability, both in the region and beyond.

What Would It Look Like?
What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

Living With Change: Voices from Ladakh :Director:Stanzin Dorjai-Gya | Genre:Documentary | Produced In:2008
Synopsis:The Himalayan mountain system cradles in its lap, the unique desert ecosystem of Ladakh. Untouched by rapid development till recently, the nomadic and pastoral communities would live off the elements in harmony with rare species of migratory birds, like the Black-Necked Crane and mammals like the Snow Leopard, in fertile concentrations around their glacier-fed wetlands. However, the balance has been tipped in the last ten years. Unsustainable development, increased human pressure and climate change has created an environment which is no longer predictable to its people and species. Living with Change, is an attempt made by WWF to listen and record these changes as voiced straight from the hearts of the people who live there. The farmers, tour guides, local leaders, scientists and even those with a passion for Ladakh’s beauty have been approached and their stories have been captured. Through this 19min- long film WWF brings to you the people of Ladakh, voicing their stories of change.
