A discussion program that explores the dramatic struggle to save Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Refuge at Risk is part talk show, part artistic journey. It assembles a panel of environmental and energy experts, naturalists and conservation activists against a backdrop of stunning photographic portraits of the Arctic landscape. The host of the show, Doug McConnell, best known as the host of "Bay Area Back Roads", leads the discussion.
Guests in the first segment of the show are: Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club; Adeline Peter Raboff, writer, activist and a Neets’aii Gwich’in Indian from Arctic Village; and award-winning photographer Subhankar Banerjee, who provides exquisite photographs from his book, "Seasons of Life and Land." The second half of the program features Severin Borenstein, Professor of Business Administration and Public Policy and Director of the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley; and Richard Hart, technology reporter and electric car enthusiast.
Collaborating Producers, Dale Djerassi and Steven Michelson provide clips from their work in progress, the documentary "Oil on Ice". The program includes footage from the 2001 Challenge Bidendum Awards Ceremony which demonstrates the ingenuity of the auto industry when properly motivated to solve emissions and fuel problems.
