Net Loss [2003] - 52 min.
The salmon aquaculture industry produces huge quantities of farm raised fish but in the process threatens the economies of local coastal fishing communities, and the fragile marine environment.  www.movingimages.org/page18.html

Another World Is Possible [2002] - 24 min.
What if 51,000 people from 131 countries put their heads together to discuss what is wrong with the world and how to work together to change it?  That's what happened at the 2002 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil.  Covered extensively by the international press, the Forum was barely mentioned by U.S. media. This film presents a sampling of the issues and events at this enormous and inspiring gathering.

Islas Hermanas [1999] - 28 min. 
A celebration of a unique and burgeoning sister relationship between Bainbridge Island near Seattle Washington, and the Island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua. A positive example of international people-to-people relationships in this era of corporate globalization.
