Feature Stream: Earth Days



"This program traces the origins of the modern environmental movement through the eyes of nine Americans who propelled the movement from its beginnings in the 1950's to its moment of triumph in 1970 with the original Earth Day and its status as a major political force in America. Drawing heavily on eyewitness testimony and a wealth of never-before-seen archival footage, Director Robert Stone examines the revolutionary achievements- and missed opportunities of a decade of groundbreaking activism. The result is both a poetic meditation on man's complex relationship with nature and a probing analysis of past responses to environmental crisis."

Feature Stream: Kant: The Experiment of Freedom


  " Immanuel Kant was one of the key Enlightenment thinkers during his lifetime and is still one of the most influential figures in Western Philosophy today. Kant wanted to explain the word, but as the same time he was aware that he himself - like all human beings - only had limited capacity for understanding. He never left his native Konigsberg (Germany), learning all he knew about world affairs from books and observation of his environment and his own emotional life. He combined all this knowledge into a complex system of concepts, categories, and matrices to create his moral philosophy. Filmed for the 300th anniversary of his birth - in April 2024 - this program shows just how closely Kant was connected to his native town."
