These are the rest of the movies I have searched and I believe that arouse really important issues such as global warming and its solutions, labor rights, climate change, fishing and sea situation, nuclear energy, peak oil, oil and energy crisis, plastic pollution, suburban sprawl and the crisis on water industry. These twelve movies finalize my movie research which last about a week with constant check and in depth investigation about new and old documentaries that have important messages to spread to viewers. Some of them include really violent and brutal scenes that maybe shock the audience (like “earthlings” and “the end of the line”), but this is for the best, because these scenes are not fake, they represent the reality and are strongly recommended for the ones that can handle it.
The next step is my on depth research about the history of environmental cinema. It won’t be on line but I will provide you the feedback from my research in Sydney’s libraries.

The first 10 movies
The movies below are the first I researched about my journal. They are completely different from each other, some talk about activism, others about animals rights or global warming. There are their links too, but many they don’t have their own site, so I put from other sites synopsis and trailers, so that anyone can check them out. But basically for my future group. In the next few days I will upload more movies, with a synopsis online, not only with a link. The whole research for movies is really difficult, because I do not want random documentaries. There must be the ones that make the difference and will attract my audience and hopefully give as much feedback as is needed for the desired goal.
All this researched material is available to anyone, but when the specific people will be chosen and of course agree to the whole process, they will be given a complete detailed copy of every movie with a synopsis, so that they will decide which 3 movies to watch. After that they will be given the films and a deadline to watch them. The next step will be discussed and analysed the next days.
