DVD Recommendations

American College Unions International's (ACUI) list of top films for sustainability. The 50 movies included are not all about ecology, nor all social justice issues; they are not all documentaries, nor all mainstream; they are not all old, nor all recently in theaters. There is a variety to attract different audiences as you plan programs for a diverse campus community. The first 15 movies come highly recommended from undergraduate students at Auburn University, who volunteered to screen films for this project.
