This is an updated version of Wild Versus Wall, produced for the Sierra Club by Pan Left member Steev Hise. The film, which was first released in 2008, concerns the ecological effects of new enforcement infrastructure on the U.S./Mexico border. This new revision includes the newest footage and photos of wall segments, construction, and effects, as well as messaging about the current presidential administration's failure to halt or reverse Bush-era policy.
Narrated by David Yetman.

Last summer, I got paid $120 to work a few days as a grip and sound guy for a production crew from Montana. They were hired by my supervisor, Kirk Astroth (the Director of AZ 4-H Youth Development), to produce a science-based short for kids about desert life. Kirk is also behind a larger project called TerraPod. Here's the final piece.

Personally, my own health has been on my mind lately which luckily I was reminded about author Michael Pollan. Pollan is someone I have been paying attention too for a while, and I have yet to read his book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma (anybody lend me a copy?), but whenever book excerpts and articles arise with his name, I'm right there.
