THE ROAD TO EXTINCTION: WILL WE SAVE THE PLANTS?
Long before even the earliest forms of animal life appeared on earth, plants covered the planet. Yet, in many parts of the world, plants are disappearing faster than they can be found. In the last 500 years, we have lost about 200 wildlife species. But in a single year, hundreds of plants may vanish.
The Road to Extinction: Will We Save the Plants? examines the status of rare and endangered plants in Georgia. Ofthe more than 3,600 species ofplants in this state, almost 250 are on the verge of disappearing in the wild. From the insect-eating green pitcher plant to the miniscule pool sprite, Will We Save the Plants? looks at a number ofthese species in their native habitats. This program also investigates the reasons these plants are being pushed toward extinction and looks at attempts to save them. 28 minutes, 1991.

SAND-HILL SURVIVORS
Another in the D.N.R. film series about endangered wildlife, Sand-Hill Survivors investigates south Georgia's sand-hill community and discusses the future ofthe indigo snake and the gopher tortoise.
Through millions of years, creatures like the gentle gopher tortoise and the harmless indigo snake have adapted to the unbearably harsh conditions of the sand-hill region.

Sand-Hill Survivors explores this conflict between people and wildlife, and looks at some of the solutions that may be possible. 10 minutes, 1980.
WOODPECKERS: BIRDS IN TROUBLE
Another in D.N.R.'s endangered wildlife series, Woodpeckers: Birds in Trouble traces the history of the ivorybilled and the red-cockaded woodpeckers.

But the last confirmed sighting ofan ivory-bill came from Texas in 1976. And in Georgia, this bird hasn't been seen since 1948.
The tiny red-cockaded is less than one-third the size of the larger ivorybill. Though it has weathered the intrusions of man far better, it is rapidly losing its habitat.
Neither of these two birds adapts easily to changes in the environment. Woodpeckers: Birds in Trouble looks at a number ofthe changes and examines many of the reasons for the loss of these birds. 10 minutes, 1980.

GEORGIA'S COAST

UNDERWATER OASES:
GEORGIA'S ARTIFICIAL REEFS
In the undersea world offthe coast of Georgia, the warm waters ofthe Atlantic nourish an astonishing variety oflife. In the crannies and crevices of offshore reefs, a complex community of marine species finds food and shelter among the sponges and corals that grow here. But off Georgia, natural reefs cover only about 5% ofthe entire ocean floor. Most ofthe bottom is a vast, empty expanse of sand that offers little natural habitat for fish.
Since 1972, a system of man-made reefs has increased the habitat - and improved the fishing - off-Georgia's coast by providing food andfcover for many different kinds of fish. Like oases in an underwater desert, artificial reefs offer a stark contrast to the barren ocean floor that surrounds them.
Underwater Oases: Georgia's Artificial Reefs looks at both man-made and natural reefs. The film also shows how artificial reefs have improved the fishing off Georgia's coast. 28 minutes, 1989.

GEORGIA HISTORY

THE CHEROKEE NATION:
THE STORY OF NEW ECHOTA
In the early 1800s, the Cherokee Indians located the capital of their nation in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains. At New Echota, they wrote a constitution, convened their highest courts, and established a newspaper printed in both English and Cherokee. The Cherokee Nation: The Story of New Echota traces the history of this community, from its founding in 1825 through its demise in 1838, when the Indians were driven out of Cherokee territory. 15 minutes, 1990.

THE BATTLE OF PICKETT'S MILL
In May of 1864, General William T. Sherman led three Federal armies south into Georgia. Their objective Atlanta. Buoyed by a string of recent victories, they headed confidently toward the city that served as a vital railroad and manufacturing center for the Confederacy. By the end of the month, Union troops were less than 30 miles from Atlanta.
But on the afternoon of May 27, in the woods surrounding a small grist mill just 27 miles from the city, they suffered a devastating defeat. In a bloody battle that lasted only a few hours, they lost more than 1,600 men. Confederate casualties that day numbered fewer than 500.

FORT McALLISTER:
GUARDIAN OF THE OGEECHEE
Fort McAllister: Guardian of the Ogeechee explores the history of this Civil War fort. Built to protect Savannah from Northern forces, the fort was virtually impregnable. Constructed of sand, mud, earth, and timber, Fort McAllister could absorb the shock of repeated enemy shellings and be completely rebuilt in only a single night. After surviving seven attacks from the Ogeechee River, Fort McAllister finally fell to General Sherman during his 1864 March to the Sea. 11 minutes, 1987.

The Battle of Pickett's Mill portrays one of the few Federal losses during the campaign for Atlanta - a loss so humiliating that General Sherman ignored it in both his official reports and his personal memoirs. Battlefield photographs, 1860's newspaper engravings, campaign maps, and other period illustrations highlight the story ofthis forgotten fight. 16 minutes, 1990.

GOLD FEVER
Twenty years before the great California gold rush of 1848, thousands of miners flocked to the mountains of northeast Georgia to seek their fortunes. Although gold had been discovered in other parts of the country much earlier, never before had so many people come together so quickly to search for the precious yellow metal. This was the first major gold rush in the United States and since the 1830s, life in Dahloneg~ has revolved around gold.
Forgenerations, the miners born and bred in the Georgia mountains struggled to survive. Day after day and year after year, the promise of striking it rich kept them going. Through conversations with mem?ers of these longtime mining fa~1hes, Gold Fever explores this way of life - from the hunger and hardships that were commonplace to the rare joyous celebrations when gold was eas; to find. Gold Fever also presents for the first time a remarkable collection of historical photographs and newsreel footage of Georgia mining through the years. 27 minutes, 1985.

PATTERNS OF CHANGE:
HISTORIC PRESERVATION
IN GEORGIA
Just as the natural environment must be protected and conserved, so must the physical environment - the buildings, neighborhoods, and communities that make up Georgia's cultural heritage. Patterns of Change: Historic Preservation in Georgia explores this heritage. Shot on location throughout Georgia, it tells the story of a number of communities and their commitment to preserving their past. As it examines the changes in lifestyle that have made our communities what they are today, it looks at many of the houses, shops, and offices that make up our neighborhoods and commercial districts. These irreplaceable historic resources are important, not simply because they are old, but because they contain so many memories of the way we, as a people, have lived. 28 minutes, 1988.

ROBERT TOOMBS: 1810-1885
History comes alive in Robert Toombs: 1810-1885. With his eyesight failing and his health declining, General Toombs has come back to his home in Washington, Georgia to spend his last years. When a young newspaper reporter comes to interview him, the General, in his own flamboyant style, relives his days as a famous orator, Civil War general, elected official, and political exile.
Robert Toombs was loved by many people, and hated by many more. But few were indifferent to him. And fewer still ever caught a glimpse of the proud and passionate man behind the public image. Robert Toombs: 1810-1885 gives us that glimpse of the hero as a
man. 25 minutes, 1983.
