This deeply human documentary examines the subject of environmental destruction, highlighting the impoverished migrant workers who are chopping down the Amazon rainforest to create charcoal for pig iron production used primarily in the automobile industry. The film examines the children and elders and their daily lives and work as they burn timber in igloo-looking huts, their bodies charred gray for $2 a day, struggling to survive.

Close Harmony 1981 (5.857)

A chorus of 4th- and 5th-graders at the Brooklyn Friends School and a chorus of elderly retirees at a Brooklyn Jewish seniors' center combine to give an annual joint concert. Practicing separately for several months while communicating only as pen pals, they eventually meet for a rehearsal prior to their concert. The children's various preconceptions about older people, as well as the seniors' approach to aging and their young co-performers, are a principal focus.

A Stitch for Time 1987 (5)

In a moving cinema verite style, A Stitch for Time presents the idea that ordinary people can become diplomats working toward the goal of world peace. Interviews with the Boise, Idaho women who made the quilt establish the background for the project and reveal that though some are longtime activists, others have never been politically involved, but all are united by their need to ensure a safe world for their children and society.
