Natural Heroes is a new Public Television series featuring independently produced films and videos with a common theme: real people making a difference for the environment and enhancing the world around us.

This program is being produced by KRCB, Public Television for the North Bay. We're searching for compelling stories that feature people challenging current environmental standards and conditions. Programs that encourage thoughtful questions and realistic answers, that broaden our understanding of our place in the world.

Our goal is to get these stories out to a national audience to inspire others to act. Many high quality documentaries make the rounds of film festivals, are screened several times, and are relegated to producers' shelves. Wonderful shorts, experimental films, and animated programs receive even less exposure before they start gathering dust. Not any longer: Natural Heroes has been created as a public television showcase for filmmakers who have focused their lens on the natural world.

Accepted works will be packaged for broadcast and distributed to public television stations across the nation. Take a look at the Call for Entries to see if your film is right for the series.
