Message:

Too many ecology/environmental theme films scare and disempower the viewers
no matter what age they are.

I strongly recommend the film "A Sense of Wonder". It is available from
http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/sense.html
It is a documentary-style
dramatization of Rachel Carson told from her point of view. It is suitable
for your age group and intended use. It is balanced, realistic, and
inspiring. It conveys the message that personal decisions can make a global
and multi-generational difference. The disk includes many special features
such as interviews showing the enormous and practical impact on *our* daily
lives Carson's choices and writing had on her, her family, and from the
perspectives of such key ecology and environmental leaders as Stewart Udall
(US Secretary of the Interior) to Dr.David Suzuki.

The theme is centered on ecology/environment, but most importantly it is
about a somewhat reluctant, and ultimately fragile, individual's journey in
making a significant difference in natural and social systems..

The film is 55 minutes and special features are 28 minutes.
