On 28 September 2006 15.000 people marched through the streets of Reykjavik in protest against the inundation of Karahnjukar - Icelanders being only 300.000 equals as if 15.000.000 US citizens would have demonstrated.

Jamaica Bauxite Environmental Organization - Excellent video section showing the horrors of the mining of bauxite...

ALCOA put it countrypie simple in this short where they brag about being major arms manufacturers. "Overview of Alcoa's contribution to the aerospace industry, from Kitty Hawk to the latest commercial jets." Strange that ALCOA are trying to convince the Icelandic people that they have nothing to do with arms manufacturing.

Saving Iceland video interview for Undercurrents in early 2005

Icelandic TV report about the action in summer 2006 to highlight the threat to the Eyjabakkar wetlands by the Karahnjukar project

World of Solitude - This is the beginning of a rather tame full length documentary about the Karahnjukar project. It was finally released in 2005 but never received decent distribution even if it won the St. Petersburg documentary festival prise. Beautiful nature shots and some good interviews.

Stækkað álver í Straumsvík mengar jafn mikið og allur bílafloti íslendinga. / Advert against the expansion of the ALCAN smelter in Hafnarfjordur. "An expanded smelter will bring as much pollution as of the entire car fleet of Iceland. Is that what we want?

Election advert of the heavy industry parties May 2007. "Yet again, a heavy industry government. You're not going to stop us now... We're only just beginning!"
