Film Synopsis: For three decades, the Prince of Wales has worked side-by-side with a dynamic array of environmental activists, business leaders, artists, architects and government leaders to address the global environmental crisis and find ways toward a more sustainable, spiritual and harmonious relationship with the planet. From organic farms, including the Prince's own Duchy Home Farm near Highrove House in the Duchy of Cornwall, to the rainforests of British Columbia, to rare footage of Prince Charles interviewing Al Gore about climate change in 1988, the film provides a new and inspiring perspective on how the world can meet the challenges of climate change globally, locally and personally. The film looks at the root causes of the global problems we face and offers 21st century solutions, capturing a new awareness that is arising in people around the world, across geographic boundaries, race religion and socio-economic status. A global call to action, it proposes a way forward to transform our relationship with the planet and restore balance in our lives.

What Would Darwin Think?: Man vs. Nature in the Galapagos - Trailer for Saturday's film show9/2/2013 Original Title: What Would Darwin Think? Man vs. Nature in the Galapagos Country of Origin: USA Year of completion: 2010 Duration: 48 min. Format: DVD Language: English Subtitles: Spanish Film Synopsis: After Charles Darwin first visited the island archipelago of Galapagos in 1839, it took him another twenty years to decipher what he’d witnessed - the most perfectly preserved biodiversity on the planet. His theory of evolution, published 150 years ago, pulled back the curtain on a debate that had been simmering for years, and still percolates. Today, Darwin would be surprised by the tourist mecca Galapagos has become - 200,000 visitors a year and 40,000 permanent residents. The impact on the most unique collection of endemic wildlife in the world has been heavy; too many people bringing too many of their ways (and invasive species) from the outside world threatening the future of this one-of-a-kind place. What would Darwin think of how Galapagos has evolved in the twenty-first century?
