To the Tar Sands
To The Tar Sands follows a group of nineteen young environmentalists as they cycle over 1,300 kilometres northbound across Alberta to witness the impacts of Alberta’s tar sands boom firsthand. They talk to farmers, moms and dads, an urban planner, oil industry workers, the chief of a First Nations community and others along the way asking “How has the tar sands boom affected you?” As the kilometres click away, they excavate into their own complicity with Alberta’s rush to develop the tar sands.

Pennsylvania Diners and Other Roadside Restaurants
In an age when every fast food place seems the same, diners have remained distinctive, fun places to stop, full of local flavor. This program takes a look at several of the most interesting diners in Pennsylvania, and also considers a few other roadside restaurants (like Midway Plaza on the Pennsylvania Turnpike) that have interesting histories and reputations for good “home-cooked” food. So get a cup of coffee. Have a seat. And come along as we visit great little restaurants from Wellsboro to Downingtown, from Milford to Conneaut Lake. Let’s go to Potato City, to the Melrose in Philly and to unforgettable little places from Pittsburgh to Poconos. Whether it’s the middle of the night in State College or lunchtime in Smethport, this documentary gives you an unusual taste of Pennsylvania and some of its quirkier cuisine.

Difficult but necessary to watch how the animals born into a factory farm to live a life in unnatural conditions used up discarded with not a moment of human decency their newborns delivered while they stand on concrete with milking rods attached to their teats, they are snatched from the womb crying for their mothers who cannot even turn to contest this horrific cruelty.The male babies placed in restrictive crates to not move for 3 months then slaughtered as veal or female babies religated to the same fate as their mothers. TO WHAT END??? The question is answered...and some of it may surprise you. This is a must see for the blissfully unaware. Put them in a headlock and make em watch. We're killing the planet with methane gas, polluting the water supply with excrement and killing ourselves with the inflammation from dairy. Perhaps these creatures are exacting their revenge We need to hold ourselves our government and those who are manipulating the truth in order to make profits off this atrocity to the fire.

I think that's a good movie. Because it puts global warming in a different perspective and it is not only oil and coal that is a problem.

This documentary was really eye-opening for me. This movie helped me to become vegan and I really recommend everyone to watch this movie. As a previous reviewer wrote, this movie will never be played at schools and on the television, which is a shame, because if everyone knew all the facts that are explained in this movie, that could really make a difference on our planet.

There is no doubt that an animal based diet has a greater ecological footprint than does a vegetarian diet. Of course you don't have to choose one or the other. It's a continuum, and eating fewer animal products is an improvement. My problem with this documentary is that he portrays a vegetarian diet as the fix for our environmental woes. A vegetarian United States will still be *far* from sustainable. Our consumer-oriented lifestyle is unsustainable in many ways, and food production is just one of them. That doesn't mean we should just do nothing. Less meat in our diet would be helpful, but it's foolish to simply ignore the underlying cause of most of our problems: Overpopulation. It's not a popular topic for discussion or policy. It's really not that interesting. The message never changes, and there's no emotional upside for having fewer children (or none). It's a somewhat cold reality, and not one that stirs passion, but ultimately the only lifestyle choice one can make that reduces our impact on our planet's ecosystem to the point of sustainability is to reduce our vast numbers. Follow Cowspiracy's message and alter your diet, too, but don't ignore the cause of our predicament and the real solution for it.
