The Bullfrog Films Collection
Founded in 1973, Bullfrog Films is the oldest and largest publisher of videos and films about the environment in the United States. We define "environment" broadly, and our film collection includes programs on ecology, energy, agriculture, indigenous peoples, women's studies, genetics, marine biology, sustainable development, community regeneration, economics, ethics, conflict resolution, and more.. In recent years, we have released many films about developing countries, globalization, changing gender roles, and human rights. Styles range from animation to drama and from personal essay to investigative documentary. There are programs suitable for all ages from pre-kindergarten through adult.
