"The Story of Cap & Trade" (10 minutes)
A fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what's really required to tackle the climate crisis. If you've heard about Cap & Trade, but aren't sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the movie for you.
"Peak Moment" (28 minutes)
Picture a sofa perched on a bicycle for its move across town. That’s how Portlanders Joel and Barb Grover transport items too big or awkward for a car. More and more folks in bicycle-friendly terrain are using cargo bikes for their in-town transportation needs -- carrying kids, groceries, purchases and goods for market. Creative cycle design is thriving, as Joel shows in numerous cargo cycle models, and local builder Joseph Ahearne shows with his Cycle Truck. Take a test spin with Janaia, who is having too much fun in a box-fronted tricycle and learning how to steer a “long tail.”
"From Danger to Dignity" (55 minutes)
After more than a century of back-alley tragedies, a national movement to decriminalize abortion took root. FROM DANGER to DIGNITY combines rare archival footage with present-day interviews to weave together two parallel stories: the evolution of underground networks to help women find safe abortions outside the law and the intensive efforts of activists and legislators
who broke the silence and changed the laws.
