World Premiere Highlights from PBS' Journey to Planet Earth
With Guest Kelly McGillis
Tues., March 30, 7 p.m.
A bold new three-part PBS television series, Journey to Planet Earth
introduces audiences to a fresh and spectacular
perspective on our planet and its future. Series narrator Kelly McGillis is
our guide for the journey--one that brings us to
a fuller understanding of the delicate balance between the global ecosystem
and the human race's ever-increasing
demands upon it.
Working closely with computer scientists to develop stunning new images, the
Emmy Award-winning production team of
Hal and Marilyn Weiner have created a sweeping panoramic view of Earth from
space, highlighting natural landscapes,
rather than familiar national or political boundaries. Breathtaking vistas
include Turkey's Bosphorus Strait, Mexico's
Popocatepetl volcano, and never-before-seen views of the Amazon and Jordan
rivers.
The evening includes a viewing of selected segments from Journey to Planet
Earth and lively discussion among special
guests Kelly McGillis, Hal and Marilyn Weiner, and others.
Location: Baird Auditorium, National Museum of Natural History, 10th &
Constitution Ave., NW

What follows are excerpts from a public television press release that
details a three-part mini-series, "Journey to Planet Earth," to air on PBS
in April. For sanet, I've focused on part 3, "Land of Plenty, Land of
Want," a study of agriculture in diverse farming communities. One profilee
is our fellow subscriber and sustainable ag practitioner/advocate Steve
Groff.
Note to teachers: A bunch of free educational materials were developed to
dovetail with the series. That information will come at the end of this
message.
"Land of Plenty, Land of Want" was funded in part by USDA's Sustainable
Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program. For more information,
contact Michele Reap of South Carolina Educational TV at the e-mail address
