TREE-SIT The Art of Resistance- DVD - 100 min. - $24.99

TREE-SIT: The Art of Resistance DVD - 100 min. This controversial documentary takes place amidst the redwood rainforest of Humboldt County where young activists have taken the art of resistance to new heights. Surrounded by clearcuts while perched in the high canopy of ancient forests for extended periods of time, activists such as Julia Butterfly Hill (and dozens of others), have used non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to slow down the chainsaws and bring attention to the destruction of old growth forests. This film is historical, exhilarating, informative, and intense! Featuring Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Woody Harrelson and Mickey Hart.

"Truly inspiring' - Howard Zinn "A rich history lesson... stunning in its cinematc effects." - Kim Beavers

EARTH FILMS CLASSICS - 3 classic films now on one DVD - LUNA (20 mins) FIRE IN THE EYES (30 mins) TIMBER GAP (20 mins) - $25

LUNA The Stafford Giant Tree-Sit. (20 min.) 1998. The Stafford Giant redwood tree, also called Luna, was discovered by Earth First! during the Fall '97 Headwaters campaign. The tree was blue-marked for cutting. In order to save it from the chainsaw, a nonstop tree occupation began. One extraordinary woman named Julia Butterfly remained in the tree for over two years. This video report gives you the inside view of one of the most inspiring acts of civil-disobedience ever. - Winner Okomedia Film Festival award - "Best Journalistic portrayal of ecological issues for children & young people"

Timber GAP 20 min. ( 2000) Timber GAP is the story of a community struggling to save the last of Mendocinos coastal redwood forest. A new company has recently moved in, financed by the GAP founder Donald Fisher and family. The Fishers made their fortune off the backs of exploited sweatshop workers, now they are exploiting the redwoods. Grassroots movements of labor, the environment and human rights converge in Seattle to protest the WTO and the huge corporations (like the GAP) that benefit most from Free Trade.

Fire In The Eyes, (VHS or DVD) a powerful, unnerving look at Humboldt County's policy of using pepper spray directly on the eyes of non-violent protesters.  This 32 minute portrayal of the controversial police tactic, euphemistically called "pain compliance", shows the dark side of law & order.
.
  Though disturbing in subject matter, this movie is entirely watchable, and needs to be seen!

Amazanga Kausai - The Llushin River Valley Conservation Project - 30 min video by James Ficklin & Nicola Peel of Earth Films

$14.99

Whilst we were down in the Amazon filming for our upcoming documentary Blood of the Amazon, we met Ladna Miller, the project coordinator for Grupo Osanimi, who told us all about the Amazanga project and invited us down to meet the indigenous Kicshuar community.

They took us on a full days steep, muddy hike up through the rainforest to their sacred lagoon, in view of the great volcano Mt Sangay.. We were so blown away by the immense beauty of the place, and the hospitality of the Amazanga people that we offered to help in this vital conservation project, by making a short fundraising video for them. Ladna had hoped for a 10 minute video, but since we captured such amazing talks with the people and an incredible array of nature footage, it ended up being a 30 minute doc of it’s own, as well as a 7 minute short. The film highlights their knowledge of medicinal and edible plants, their spiritual connection with the land and the urgent need to protect it.

The Llushin River valley is 95% covered in primary rainforest home to a wide array of wildlife and endangered species. The area is full of salt licks where birds abound, including many kinds of parrots, military macaws, kinkajous, and olingos. Tapirs, Andean spectacled bears, puma and even jaguars call this their home. The forest is exquisite, at the base of the Andes, teeming with huge trees, epiphytes, orchids, and rich with a variety of rare palms.

During the Agricultural reform the government gave this land to colonists and the indigenous people lost their ancestral home. Now it is being sold off to companies whose interests are in timber, oil and gold mining. It is imperative that we help to buy this land and give it back to the Indians who are the true guardians and rely on the land for their food and medicinal needs. The land will be purchased for and in the name of the Kicshuar Community of Amazanga under a perpetual land trust, which declares the area intangible to exploitation of any kind. To date Grupo Osanimi have purchased 1,250 hectares of ‘saved’ rainforest and are looking for funding to purchase three more parcels of rainforest, thus formalizing an indigenous run biological reserve - a model conservation project for Ecuador.

The Amazanga Kausai video has been screened numerous times in the US and UK, helping to raise funds and bring awareness to this project. We have also been selling traditional seed jewelry made by the Amazanga women to raise money for both the community and our film project.
