Interestingly, a similar discussion on films and sustainability is going on over on the Green Schools listserv, which is read by people involved in campus sustainability issues. The message below has a link to a list of sustainability films that is in part briefly annotated.

Hi all.
The first link on the original email should direct to a sustainable film list on ACUI.org. According to the article, the top 15 are highly recommended from undergraduates at Auburn (September 2006).
In case the link is not working, here’s the url:
http://www.acui.org/publications/bulletin/article.aspx?issue=306&id=1918 .
Thanks,
Patrice

I have a list of film related to sustainability compiled for ACUI. Email me if you want it. It is a few years old, but was compiled by students at Auburn University.

I’m interested to hear what sustainability-related films you would recommend, especially for a student audience. I’ve done some research for ideas and compiled a list that some might find helpful (see below).
UC Davis Student Housing is planning an outdoor movie night as one of our Sustainable Spring events. Snacks/drinks will be provided to residents that bring their own containers. However, a film has not yet been selected…
Thanks in advance for your help.
