We have produced and distributed (in the series of 10 alternative news videos and on broadcast and community television) hundreds of video features made by environmental and social activists. We also manage Europe's largest archive of direct action footage. Other projects include the Undercurrents Foundation in Wales, primarily a video-activist training facility, the BeyondTv traveling environmental film festival, and the BeyondTv website, to be launched in September 2001.
