Inspiring and shocking
With the rise of environmental issues comes the increased popularity of movies addressing these issues. This year's environmental documentaries come from all over the world. Filmmakers are bringing shocking and sometimes tearful topics to your living room — to inspire you to make a difference. These documentaries examine everything from the negative effects of the American agriculture system to leading a zero-impact lifestyle. These are 10 must-see films. (Text: Jessica Knoblauch)

Whole Foods was a sponsor for "Heart & Soil" at the film festival in Nashville in 2008. It remains a popular choice among communities who want to inspire more people to participate in local agriculture. I would have entered it in your selection of films had I known about it. www.heartandsoilfilm.com
Heart & Soil was sponsored by Whole Foods in 2009 at Nashville Film Festival.
We love these films, and wish that there was a funding source for the filmmakers since our little town cannot afford screening fees, and yet the education must go on...how to get the films made, and have them shown everywhere...that is our quest, our challenge...thanks to Avatar(read my blog post review on the spiritual quality of this film at www.anniegreenjeans.com) & Fern Gully, other major....

I Love ANNA CONJURE.
She's the owner of the British Celeb Favourite "I Conjure Candles" and lives in the gorgeous Georgian city of Bath England, where Jane Austen lived.

We're working to finish up the YERT feature film (Your Environmental Road Trip). We call it an "environmental anti-depressant." Keep an eye out for it next year. In the meantime you can see the trailer and 50 short films about the project at http://www.yert.com .
Please, next time you are posting a list, please post a list. I don't have time to click through each slide to see what the title of the movie is. A choice would be nice. Thanks. Keep up the awesome work!
recently watched fresh, excellent!!
FRESH should also be on this list- it is the kind of environmental film that this country really needs right now. While the film clearly lays out the problems with the industrial agricultural system, it also offers solutions that provide hope to inspire individuals to take action.

Why isn't Dirt! on this list?! It's a movie that highlights one of the most basic environmental necessities and how exactly it impacts our everyday lives. I was apprehensive and not that exited to learn about dirt, but I saw it at Sundance and was more than impressed.
DIRT! will be on next year's list - very inciteful, an overview from the heart as well as biosphere...a MUST see film, everyone, dig in & enjoy...
No Impact Man was my favorite...but i"ve heard that the Cove is good (disturbing) as well. Does it feel like a large number of environmental films have emerged in the first year of Obama? (or was it more a reaction to the last year of Bush?)
..but I thought Wall E was one of the best green movies of the year....it was an environmental movie that I enjoyed and so did my kids.
