On Earth Day, let's think about how we can do things differently in order to secure a more healthy, equitable and sustainable future for ourselves.
How can we rethink the ways we produce and consume meat in order to reduce that industry's carbon footprint and environmental impacts?
How can we change the supply chains that produce our digital devices and our cheap clothing in order to promote sustainability and longevity, and better respect the human rights of the people who make them?
How can we continue to shift from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable one?
The documentaries featured here ask those questions, and provide some revolutionary, inspiring answers.
These and other films from the Bullfrog Films catalog are available on DVD with public performance rights. Free previews are available for purchase evaluation. Academic streaming can be licensed from Docuseek. In-person and virtual community screenings and Earth Day Festival-In-A-Box specials are available now through Bullfrog Communities.

Animal agriculture and related land use generate one-quarter of annual greenhouse gas emissions; the three most consumed meats from ruminant livestock (cattle, sheep, and goats) use two-thirds of global agricultural land. Now, imagine a world where real meat is produced sustainably without the need to breed, raise and slaughter animals. This is no longer science fiction—it's now within reach. Meat the Future follows Dr. Uma Valeti, co-founder of leading "cultivated" meat startup Upside Foods, as he and his team develop a game-changing solution to a global, unsustainable hunger for meat.

In an investigation that spans the globe, Death by Design investigates the underbelly of the international electronics industry and reveals how even the tiniest devices have deadly environmental and health costs. From the intensely secretive electronics factories in China, to the high tech innovation labs of Silicon Valley, the film tells a story of environmental degradation and health tragedies attributable to e-waste and current methods of electronics production. Through profiles of advocacy groups, and a look at the right-to-repair movement, Death By Design suggests that a revolution is on the horizon.

Point of No Return takes viewers behind the scenes with the crew of the long-range experimental aircraft Solar Impulse as they attempt first solar-powered flight around the world—battling nature, each other, and sometimes logic itself to achieve the impossible. Their goal: to send a clear message that the same technologies used by Solar Impulse during its epic journey can be adapted and utilized on the ground to halve our world’s energy consumption, save natural resources and improve our quality of life.
