New Beginnings, Big Ideas
New Year’s resolutions often seem like an exercise in guilt. “This year I promise I not to drink, eat, smoke, or for that matter, enjoy life.” Instead of setting ourselves up for disappoinment, we thought we’d ring in the new year by honoring those who refused to deny themselves, and dreamt big.

Support Filmanthropy
Films can open our eyes to important issues and inspire us to get involved and make a difference. We call this "filmanthropy." We make it easy to support our filmmakers and the causes their films spotlight. Each of our documentaries is matched up with a charity – below you'll see one such pairing – so watch and then donate your pixels (snag a widget!), time, or money.
The Yunnan Great Rivers ExpeditionIn a remote corner of Southwest China, three of Asia’s greatest rivers plunge off the Tibetan Plateau through steep canyons in the Himalayas thousands of feet deep. This stunningly beautiful film captures the incredible journey of a whitewater expedition, as it explores the upper Mekong, Salween and Yangtze rivers. More than a wild adventure, the two-month expedition was an ambitious partnership with the Nature Conservancy and the Chinese government to help protect one of the most biodiverse and culturally diverse regions in the world. Support the The Nature Conservancy, which helps preserve plants, animals and natural communities all over the world, each and every single day.
