Today is the Worldwide Teach-in on Climate Justice and Climate Solutions. Over 1,000 colleges and schools around the world are organizing and hosting events. And that's just the beginning! Many more will be having events throughout the month of April.

As Earth Day 2022 approaches, we invite you to use the coming weeks as an opportunity to engage your students in thoughtful classroom conversation about environmental issues and themes using documentaries from the Bullfrog Films collection. Stimulating, informed discussion and action is the best hope for achieving the positive results that climate scientists say we must realize by 2030—the year when climate change becomes irreversible due to a rise in average global temperatures caused by carbon emissions.

Films are available on DVD with public performance rights. 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.

Into The Canyon follows photographer Pete McBride and writer Kevin Fedarko as they set out on a 750-mile hike through the entire length of the Grand Canyon. This is a story of extreme physical hardship that stretches the bonds of friendship and a meditation on the timeless beauty of this sacred place. It is an urgent warning about the environmental dangers that are placing one of America's greatest monuments in peril and a cautionary tale for our complex relationship with the natural world.
Nature's Cleanup Crew examines the lives of the busy scavengers who live among us in our cities, recycling the mountains of waste our consumer society leaves behind.

Filmed in Zambia, Namibia and Kenya, No Fear No Favor illuminates the wrenching choices faced by impoverished Africans who live where community meets wilderness--on the front lines of Africa's poaching crisis.

Soaring at 28,000 feet without a drop of fuel, nothing is predictable. Not the weather, not the technology. And certainly not the fate of a man, alone for five days in a fragile, first-of-its-kind aircraft with nothing but ocean below. 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.
There are now estimated to be about 350 right whales, making them among the planet's most endangered species. The main threat to their survival, scientists say: millions of lobster lines that stretch from New England through Atlantic Canada. Entangled chronicles the efforts to protect North Atlantic right whales from extinction, the impacts of those efforts on the lobster industry, and how the National Marine Fisheries Service has struggled to balance the vying interests.
In 1995, Chicago suffered the worst heat disaster in U.S history. 739 residents, mostly elderly and Black, died over the course of one week. In Cooked: Survival by Zip Code, Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand links the deadly heat wave's devastation back to the underlying man made disaster of structural racism, delving deep into one of our nation's biggest growth industries: Disaster Preparedness.
Farmsteaders is a love story, a farm story, and a story of contemporary rural America. Nick Nolan, his wife Celeste, and their young family are on a journey to resurrect his grandfather’s dairy farm, even as corporate agriculture drives more and more family farms out of business nationwide. The film points an honest and tender lens at the beauty and hardship of everyday life, watching as the Nolans work to balance their fears and hopes with their family, their livelihood, and their future at stake.
Through the story of a group of Canadian organic farmers both large and small-scale, From Seed to Seed allows us to experience a full growing season with all of its rewards as well as the challenges of a changing climate. Scientists are working with these farmers using a blend of ancient traditions and cutting edge science to develop improved methods for growing food ecologically and in a changing climate. This hopeful story provides perspective on a global social movement that regenerates the land, farming, and communities.
