Sundance Channel’s THE GREEN returns for a second season on April 1, 2008 at 9:00 pm with 13 new episodes of the EMA award-winning original eco-series “BIG IDEAS FOR A SMALL PLANET,” new documentaries and new episodes of the interstitial series “ECO-BIZ”™ and “ECOISTS” ™. Simran Sethi and Majora Carter will return as hosts of THE GREEN and will present insights into green issues and eco-heroes.
Among these eco-heroes is New Mexico’s own “Garbege Warrior,” Michael Reynolds. In the film GARBAGE WARRIOR directed by Oliver Hodge and co-production of Open Eye Media, ITVS International and Sundance Channel, profiles maverick architect Michael Reynolds, who has spent thirty years developing radically original models of self-sustaining housing near Taos, New Mexico. Working with a crew of like-minded idealists and professionals, Reynolds has channeled his unstoppable imagination into strange yet functional dwellings that are made from garbage like old tires and beer cans. With the colorful, passionate architect at its center, Garbage Warrior traces the ups and downs of an iconoclastic career, from early experiments to heartbreaking setbacks to disaster relief projects at the other end of the world.
The film airs Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 9:35pm e/p
