The purpose of this entry is two-fold. First, we want to note that the Cinema for Peace Foundation has been regularly posting their Trailers of the Day for films to which it's lent its support. The goal of the Foundation "is to inspire people to dig deeper into issues and topics which the news only covers at the surface."
One of the films they've chosen to highlight recently is Adam Wakeling's Up in Smoke, nominated for the International Green Film Award 2012 at the Cinema for Peace Gala 2012 and currently touring the festival circuit (see the site). The documentary focuses on an ongoing yet little-publicized environmental catastrophe: "Over 250 million farmers throughout the tropics use slash and burn agriculture to yield subsistence crops in rain forests. It sends more carbon into the air annually than half of all global transport."
