Tim Ream - ELAW Interview Series

Caitlin Clay — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:10:12 -0700

Seemingly minor changes in our environment can have catastrophic consequences in the long run. Tim Ream knows this well. Having worked with a broad range of groups - from the Peace Corps, to the EPA, and UN - he’s developed a unique perspective on the most pressing issues at the cross-section of environmental and human rights.

In this interview with WITNESS, Tim outlines the concept of our global carbon map and makes the case that global warming is progressing at a rate far greater then could have ever been predicted. The result: the acidization of oceans, the extinction of flora and fauna, and a growing number of climate refugees. As Tim points out, there are already more refugees of climate than of war, and the UN's IPCC predicts that the world could see up to 150 million climate refugees by 2050.

Tim’s plea: the proposal of significant environmental legislature by first world countries at the COP15 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009. If the global power players refuse to go green, then how can they expect developing countries to do so?

FLOW: For Love of Water Official Trailer

Caitlin Clay — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:09:47 -0700

Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what
experts label the most important political and environmental issue of
the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis.

Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water
supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights,
and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.

Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building
crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces
many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab,
while begging the question 'CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?'

Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people
and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and
those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints
for a successful global and economic turnaround.

HRWIFF 2009 - Naftaly Gliksberg on his film, Look Into My Eyes

Caitlin Clay — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:17:48 -0700

Interview with director Naftaly Gliksberg at the 20th Human Rights Watch International Film Festival.

His film, Look Into My Eyes, had its US Premiere on June 21, 2009.

Description from Human Rights Watch:

Is anti-Semitism a buzz-word for all kinds of real or imagined slights? Is it an arcane expression that should be retired, or is there legitimacy to outcries worldwide that anti-Semitism is again on the rise?
Filmmaker Naftaly Gliksberg sets out to investigate what anti-Semitism looks like today, crossing two continents to see how people react to direct questions about their attitudes toward Jews, Israel, and the notion that there is such a thing as anti-Semitism. It is a startling personal journey of painful discoveries as he explores representations and impressions of Jews and Israelis around the world. As he visits individuals in Poland, France, the United States, and Germany, Gliksberg discovers that people’s responses to his pointed questions are often a mixture of their own culture, some version of history, and a certain collective psychology.
