Спасти планету
Леонардо ДиКаприо, новый посол Мира ООН по проблемам климата, берется за главную роль в своей жизни. Путешествуя от пустошей Гренландии к лесам Суматры и залам Ватикана, ДиКаприо изучает влияние климатических изменений на нашу планету. Он пользуется своими привилегиями, чтобы побеседовать с активистами, учеными и сильными мира сего, включая Барака Обаму, Илона Маска и Папу Франциска. Изучая проблему со всех сторон, Лео ищет ответ на вопрос: что мы можем сделать, пока не стало слишком поздно?
Неудобная правда
Человечество сидит на тикающей бомбе. Если подавляющее большинство ученых правы, то у нас есть всего 10 лет, чтобы избежать крупнейшей катастрофы с самыми сильными наводнениями, засухами и эпидемиями из всех что мы пережили. Люди в погоне за обогащением и бесконечным промышленным ростом совсем забыли насколько хрупка наша планета. Точнее хрупки те условия, к которым мы все так привыкли. Совершенно бесконтрольное сжигание органического топлива и постоянный рост промышленности, основанной на нем, могут привести к тому, что планета Земля из райского места для проживания в место для выживания в экстремальных условиях.
Навстречу шторму
Всего лишь за один день невероятное «нашествие» смерчей практически уничтожило городок Сильверстон. Все его жители были отданы на растерзание непредсказуемым и смертельно опасным торнадо, и при этом метеорологи говорят, что худшее еще впереди. Большинство ищут убежища, в то время как немногие смельчаки идут навстречу стихии, испытывая себя: насколько далеко сможет зайти «охотник за торнадо» ради одного единственного — зато какого! — снимка.
Смерч
Рушащиеся, словно карточные домики, здания, разорванные линии электропередач, поднятые в воздух автомобили и животные, гибнущие люди… Мелкими и незначительными оказываются личные неурядицы героев перед лицом разбушевавшейся стихии. В отчаянный поединок с грозным и малоизученным явлением природы вступают учёные-метеорологи.

Tumbleweeds
William S. Hart stars in this 1925 silent film as a cowboy intent on claiming land during the 1889 land rush in the Oklahoma Territory. Though hardened from years of taming the new frontier, he falls in love with a beautiful woman. Before he settles down, however, he must contend with men who wish to bring him harm. In the prologue of the 1939 Astor Pictures revival of this film, Hart gives a moving eight-minute introduction-- the first and only time he appeared in a film accompanied by his striking voice.
When Glaciers Go
A diminishing water supply is driving people from their land in a remote region of Nepal. The younger generation of the Gurung family adapts by commuting from their ancestral home, where subsistence depends on grazing goats and cows, to a village that has a commercial apple orchard, fed by irrigation. “We cannot give up cultivating our fields,” a elderly man explains. “The apple farm is not going to be able to feed us easily.” The older generation believes that water shortages stem from road building and bulldozing, upsetting the natural order, a young man explains. Both generations fly prayer flags, beseeching water.

Denial
Every day our changing climate pushes us closer to an environmental catastrophe, but for most the problem is easy to ignore. David Hallquist, a Vermont utility executive, has made it his mission to take on one of the largest contributors of this global crisis-our electric grid. But when his son Derek tries to tell his father's story, the film is soon derailed by a staggering family secret, one that forces Derek and David to turn their attention toward a much more personal struggle, one that can no longer be ignored. - Written by Aaron Woolf

Frogs: The Thin Green Line
An examination of the extinction threat faced by frogs, which have hopped on Earth for some 250 million years and are a crucial cog in the ecosystem. Scientists believe they've pinpointed a cause for the loss of many of the amphibians: the chytrid fungus, which flourishes in high altitudes. Unfortunately, they don't know how to combat it. Included: an isolated forest in Panama that has yet to be touched by the fungus, thus enabling frogs to live and thrive as they have for eons.
Climate Change: Our Planet - The Arctic Story
In the far North, in the late fall, at a time of year when it should be covered with ice, the sea remains frozen along the coast of Greenland. Glaciers are melting and shedding chunks of ice that are scattered across the ocean surface. The animals inhabiting the land and water are threatened by warming temperatures and loss of sea ice. Climate change is fundamentally altering the natural environment of Greenland and affecting the lives of its wildlife and indigenous people. Greenlanders, who have survived for generations by hunting, are now losing their prey and their traditional way of life. They are facing the stark reality of a warming climate and are trying to adapt. Until now, the Inuit people who were born in Greenland and know only their traditional life of hunting, have never thought of a different place, a different life, a different future. But now they must face the possibility of losing their ancient traditions and their prey along with the disappearing ice.
