This powerful film explores the resurgence of urban farming in American cities. It showcases how diverse individuals are reclaiming lost skills and reconnecting people with their food, especially in Los Angeles.

Three LA residents exemplify this movement: Rishi, who traded a Silicon Valley career for backyard farming; Ron, who fought the city for his right to grow food on a public strip; and Adam and Jenna, a young couple cultivating their relationship through urban farming.

Urban farming is a growing global environmental movement, with unique significance in Los Angeles. This film was distributed by FilmBuff for Grist.

Honoring native traditions, "Dakota 38" is a film distributed as a gift, not for sale. It chronicles a spiritual journey of healing and reconciliation, depicting a challenging ride and the supportive communities encountered along the way.

In 2005, spiritual leader Jim Miller dreamed of the 1862 mass execution of 38 Dakota ancestors. Four years later, he and a group of riders began retracing a 330-mile horseback route from South Dakota to Mankato, Minnesota. This annual ride culminates at the hanging site on the execution's anniversary, fostering healing and reconciliation.

This video introduces Natural Capitalism, a business model that values natural and human resources, alongside vital ecological services. It advocates for treating nature's contributions as assets on a balance sheet, akin to 'taking good care of the goose that lays the golden egg'. The collapse of the Atlantic northwest cod fishery exemplifies the consequences of ignoring natural capital; treating cod as an infinite resource led to its depletion and the demise of a 500-year industry. A natural capitalism approach would have managed cod as a living resource, ensuring replenishment rates were respected and focusing on the service of feeding people sustainably. Similarly, for a clothing company, this means accounting for the full value of all inputs—from cotton and dyes to human labor—on the balance sheet. Learn more about Natural Capitalism on Wikipedia and natcap.org.

This framework highlights that the economy is nested within society, which in turn depends on the environment. Therefore, economic and social prosperity are fundamentally reliant on natural and human capital. Businesses globally are adopting this model, finding innovation and competitive advantages. Future videos will delve into successful company examples, circular economy, biomimicry, and related business opportunities.
