Islands in the Sky

As a tumultuous year winds down, we are indebted to the fantastic community of filmmakers and the diehard support of our audience, both of whom have made 2008 another incredible year for the TERRA series. This year saw us walking with dinosaurs, exploring the mythology of the American lawn, and using the powers of our own two hands to mold the future. Therefore, it is only fitting that we are ending the year in true TERRA style by taking to the skies with the story of the 'The Flying Dustbin.' We've learned more and more evidence over the last few years that no community or species is an island, though it may occasionally seem otherwise. In truth, the story of the Fulmar, remote as it is, testifies to our interconnectedness with all things. Our hope is that in 2009, we can use this single truth to continue to tell the stories of our natural world and that these visual yarns will continue to stitch and sew the world into better shape for tomorrow. Felicidades and thanks again!!

Resource extraction is a modern day necessity, yet often in direct conflict with environmental concerns. Mike Burd knows about this conflict better than most. As both a miner and conservationist in southern Wyoming, Mike has become an outspoken critic of the oil and gas industry's exploration of the Wyoming Range. As the 5th in a series of shorts from the Greater Yellowstonte Coalition, this episode highlights issues associated with Wyoming's oil and gas development and details Mike's unique perspective and passion for protecting this place.
