Plan B: Mobilizing to Save Civilization

Plan B: Mobilizing to Save Civilization, a documentary based on the book by environmental visionary Lester Brown, will be broadcast on PBS on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 10 p.m.  Academy Award winner Matt Damon returns as on-camera host/narrator.  Produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Marilyn & Hal Weiner, “Plan B” is the 12th episode of the award-winning series Journey to Planet Earth, which reports on the most important environmental and sustainable development issues of the 21st century.

Appearing with Lester Brown are Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Friedman, former Governor and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, along with other scholars and scientists.  Locations include: China, Japan, Korea, India, Italy, Turkey, Bangladesh, Zambia, Haiti, and the United States.

What makes “Plan B” significant and timely is that it provides audiences with hopeful solutions — a road map into a new and emerging economy based upon renewable sources plus realistic strategies to avoid the growing threat of global warming. 

Journey to Planet Earth is one of the most successful environmental series in the world, with episodes broadcast in most major overseas television markets.  The series currently yields a worldwide television audience of more than 75 million viewers per year.
