Turtle: The Incredible Journey
(Doc) Dir. Stringer (UK/Austria/Germany, 2009) 81 min. This amazing documentary has all three elements of a great epic: suspense, adventure, despair and hope. The film follows the odyssey of a loggerhead turtle in the path of her ancestors on one of the most extraordinary journeys in the natural world. Born on a beach in Florida, she rides the Gulf Stream to the Arctic and ultimately swims around the entire North Atlantic across to Africa and back to the beach where she was born. But the odds are stacked against her; just one in ten thousand turtles survive the journey.

Crude: The Real Price of Oil
(Doc) Dir. Berlinger (USA, 2009) 104 min.
This cinema-verite feature from acclaimed filmmaker Joe Berlinger (Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) is the epic story of one of the largest and most controversial environmental lawsuits on the planet. The inside story of the infamous " Amazon Chernobly" case, Crude is a real-life high stakes legal drama, set against a backdrop of the enivronmental movement, global politics, celebrity activism, human rights advocacy, the media, multinational corporate power, and rapidly disappearing indigenous cultures. Presenting a complex situation from multiple viewpoints, the film subverts the conventions of advocacy filmmaking, exploring a complicated situation from all angles while bringing an important story of enivronmental peril and human suffering into focus.
