Building Energy Efficient Homes In Alaska
Here in Alaska, keeping warm is a big part of life. In fact, the average resident in the state spends nearly a third of their income heating their home. So making sure houses hold heat inside can make a big difference to people’s wallets, as well as being better for the climate. A team of researchers in Fairbanks, the state’s second-largest city, specialise in working out how to make buildings more efficient, and are sharing their knowledge so more people can avoid “letting dollars go right out the window”. There are even ways to insulate homes using recycled materials made from old clothes, styrofoam and paper. Check out the full story in our video.

Game Change Game
Game Change Game documents a tumultuous, and at times surreal, basketball season plagued by once unimaginable circumstances. Co-directors Maxime Quoilin and Spike Jordan provide unfettered access to the players union: examining the anxieties and hopes of the players through interviews, and even include first person footage from the subjects themselves. Quoilin and Jordan take us from the NBA bubble to the social uprisings of the Black Lives Matter movement, at a time when the personal could no longer be apolitical. Including interviews with CJ McCollum, JaVale McGee, Chris Paul, and many other notable figures, the documentary moves fluidly through the perspectives of the players, to those of artists, activists, and survivors of police brutality. Examining the humane and harmful, the miraculous and mundane, the spectacle and substance, the true essence of the film lies in the exploration of what binds communities during turmoil.--Shakira Refos
