The Films
We're showing films that will appeal to everyone from cyclists and kayakers to gardeners and Beatles fans.  Here's a sample:
 
Homegrown Revolution features an urban homestead in downtown Pasadena, California, where the Dervaes family harvests nearly three tons of organic food from a garden on a tenth of an acre (envision a 20 by 20-foot plot).
 
Division Street takes us on a tour of North America through roadless wildlife corridors to concrete jungles, dodging Yellowstone grizzly bears, dodging Yellowstone grizzly bears and Miami taxi cabs along the way.
 
Last Frontier depicts a kayaking expedition through Papua New Guinea, a culture and an ecosystem on the brink of change, perched between industrialized society and tribal village life.  
 
...And a short film about us!  University of Southern Maine Media Studies students Shane Roma, Christine Wilson, and John Spires spent hundreds of hours creating a five-minute film that captures the essence of our organization, from training volunteers in water quality testing to patrolling Casco Bay on our Baykeeper boat.  
  
More film descriptions - as well as trailers - are available at www.cascobay.org.
