Geography isn't just about maps and capitals. The need to study areas of the world, the space in which people live and the interactions between people and space, has given rise to many branches of study in geography. In addition to the traditional disciplines of physical and human geography, studying the built environment and how humans interact with their surroundings which now includes the whole globe, environmental geography looks at the interactions between people and places and is an emerging and important field. We have created a new Geography subject page to help you find films appropriate to studies in geography. Examples include tourism geography in CAN'T DO IT IN EUROPE, hydrology issues examined in INHERITANCE, to political ecology in TAMBOGRANDE, which follows the protest of farmers to gold mining in their Northern Peruvian town.
