While I'm thinking of it, let me share a list of documentary films on various environmental themes. Ethics is amenable to learning through the film medium because learning to think philosophically is not just about amassing knowledge but about identifying and thinking through problems and observing how others frame ethical problems.
Here are some of my recommendations for films that are related to the issues raised in Deep Economy and other problems in environmental sustainability. Many of these have trailers available on the web. I’d love to hear your further suggestions!
About our energy economy:
Who Killed the Electric Car?
About climate change:
An Inconvenient Truth
About wildlife:
Being Caribou
About local economies:
WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price
About food:
The Future of Food
Super Size Me
King Corn
About industrialization and natural environments:
Manufactured Landscapes
Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi
