12th HOUR, directed by Susan Kucera
Much of our population currently lives with hopeful delusions about climate change. These delusions, many of which are built in by evolution, hamper our ability to meaningfully address the problem.

Mauna: A Portal To The Universe, directed by Riley Brunner
Plans to build the Thirty Meter Telescope on the summit of the sacred Mauna Kea sparks another battle in a decades-long struggle between Indigenous Hawaiians and astronomers.
 
ARICA, directed by Lars Edman, William Johansson

Tune in to nature: Cinema Verde is available now as a streaming platform, offering 13 years of film festival solutions to the ever-growing amount of environmental conflicts.
 
Watch movies like the one of Claudia Adams - a woman who was close to dying. Something invisible was harming her, but no one would believe her. Using a 2007 SONY Handycam, she began filming herself with the intention of providing clues to the coroner.  Over the course of six months of filming, she discovered that she had poisoned herself with dry-cleaning solvent she had brought home in her wool blankets. When she regained her strength, she turned the footage into her "deathbed documentary," which premiered at Cinema Verde. Dry-Clean Only paved Claudia's way to becoming an award-winning filmmaker who has since produced three films, two of which qualified for Oscars.
 
"Cinema Verde as a streaming platform provides the opportunity for awareness - A passport to see how the world is connected even from afar, and what you overlook every day right outside your own front door," says Film Director Trish Riley, adding, "The goal is to inspire a collaborative spirit and commitment to a healthy future."
 
Cinema Verde is available through one-day passes ($5), a monthly pass ($10) or at an annual membership of $60 at CinemaVerde.org.
