TCM PRIMETIME - WHAT'S ON TONIGHT: EARTH DAY 50TH ANNIVERSARY
An Inconvenient Truth (2006)
Koyaanisqatsi (1982) - Experimental documentary that moves from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings' increasing dependence on technology.
The Plow That Broke The Plains (1936) - Documentary cameras delve into the causes of the Depression's dust bowl.
The River (1938) - The TVA brings modern technology to the farmers along the Mississippi River.
The Sea Around Us (1952) - Documentary based on Rachel Carson's pioneering study of ocean life.
Wind Across The Everglades (1958) - A game warden takes on a band of bird poachers in the Florida Everglades.
No Blade Of Grass (1970)(Horror film) - A family tries to escape an environmental holocaust.
Five documentaries then an adventure film about poachers and an eco-horror film. I've seen none of these. And only heard of the Al Gore documentary.
