European Minorities, five parts. Produced for and broadcast on the National Geographic Channel-US.

	Sami of the far north		The Setu of Estonia and Russia
	Turks in Germany		Hungarians in Slovakia
	Muslims in Srebrenica

From the winter nights of northern Finland to the darkest of human experiences in Srebrenica, Bosnia, minorities in Europe fight for their right to survive. But the new openness of Europe holds hope that they may yet be able to keep their uniqueness and still live in friendship with the dominant cultures.

Letters from the Forgotten People

About 22 million refugees and other displaced people are scattered around the globe. Some refugees get attention in the world press, but most do not. The United Nations recently announced that relief agencies have 1.2 billion dollars less than is necessary to care for them. Based on footage shot in Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this documentary looks at what life is like for some of these refugees. We see their arrival, their makeshift homes, the difficulty of feeding them, hopeful attempts to get them home, and the eventual frustration of those hopes.

Broadcast on Montana PBS stations.

The Search for the Never Never

In the Australian imagination the phrase "the Never Never" has two meanings. It can mean either the mythical distant Outback that you can never reach, or a debt that you can never repay. This film uses the double meaning to explore the way Australians fight over whether to find spiritual salvation in their land or use it for financial gain.

Behind the veneer of modern cities, Australia is a stark landscape of ancient, infertile soils and wildly unpredictable weather. This film follows people who try to shape this land to their dreams, and describes the conflicts that follow. Young men and women called ferals confront loggers whose families have worked the timber for generations. Irrigation provides billions of dollars in crops, but rivers are dying. A group fights to get water back in the famous and now empty Snowy River, yet the project that took it away it is a root of Australian culture. In the northeast, farmers clear trees and brush from millions of acres, but in the west other farmers pay the price for past over-clearing as salt rises to kill fields.

People try to shape the land in an image of ancient simplicity. In a program called Project Eden, foxes and cats are killed to make room for native species. But the Never Never is elusive. Nature is too uncertain to offer security, and humans can't get far enough from themselves to find salvation in wilderness. While Aborigines seek a taste of their old life in honey-ant burrows in the desert, the Never Never vanishes like a dream, fading in the light of the real world.

Project Puffin

On a small island in Maine, a dedicated ornithologist brings a charismatic bird back after almost a century of absence.

Newfoundland Fisheries

A moratorium on fishing for cod was supposed to help the fish recover. But the fish haven’t returned. Why?

Mudwalking

On the mud flats of the Wadden Sea, off the north coast of the Netherlands, residents and tourists practice a bizarre – and very messy – sport, called Wadlopen.

Climate Change in the Netherlands

Everyone agrees the world is warming and sea levels will rise. High countries aren’t too worried, but the Netherlands is the lowest of the low. What can its teeming millions do to survive?

Ice Age Floods

Fifteen thousand years ago, a vast lake as big as two of the Great Lakes combined covered a big chunk of the Northwestern U.S. Then, in less than a week, it blew out. It changed the face of four states, and now a park is being proposed to show off the spectacular damage it left behind.

Celtic Colours

Where do you go to find the most authentic strain of old Celtic culture? Ireland? Scotland? No. Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, where ancient ways are preserved and celebrated in a week-long festival of music.

Guandera Biological Station

Farmers have ruined vast tracts of tropical forest in northern Ecuador, but protecting what’s left may mean enlisting the very same farmers and teaching them practices that may also help them save themselves.

Greenland Melting?

The big ice is restless. Both fishermen and scientists have noticed that glaciers on Greenland’s edge are thinning. But the key to understanding what’s really happening here is in the biggest ice: The continental ice sheet that feeds the glaciers. A new discovery leads to new understanding.
