Between the world in which we live and the world that we hope to build lies a fundamental choice between conventional growth and sustainability. BETWEEN TWO WORLDS examines this choice, and the related challenge of securing environmental health, economic vitality, and social equity for both present and future generations. Filmed in 15 diverse countries, it tells the story of how our world is changing, and why. Viewers are presented with vivid images of a planet that is teetering between hope and despair; wealth and poverty; freedom and tyranny; progress and ruin. This film provides a powerful synthesis of social, technological, and environmental driving forces that have shaped much of our history and are now strongly influencing our future. Guaranteed to be thought-provoking, the film is an excellent way to promote discussion in the classroom, around the kitchen table, and across the community of thoughtful citizens who are concerned about the interlocking, slow-motion crises that face our world.
Running Time: 24 minutes (includes commentary). Format: NTSC 16:9 DVD-R
