| Summary |
The new six-part series, e2 transport is an enlightening and critically acclaimed PBS series narrated by Golden Globe and Academy Award winner Brad Pitt, about the innovators and pioneers who envision a better quality of life on earth: socially, culturally, economically and ecologically.e2 transport investigates different approaches towards solving transport issues, focusing less on the area of design and fuel alternatives and more on the larger context of human behaviour and urbanisation. The series explores London's congestion charge, Paris's ambitious push bike initiative, and a local cafe owner in Philadelphia whose grand plan is to cultivate a sustainable local food economy by serving only local produce.The series also looks at attainable solutions to pressing environmental and social challenges, and its stories are drawn from a variety of fields including design, energy, transport, water, food and urban development.The biggest culprit in terms of sustainability in transport is the car. At the same time, we have entered an age in which people and goods are travelling further and more frequently than ever before. A truly global marketplace requires a globally-minded citizenry to address this environmental problem.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Produced by Kontentreal for TVF. Executive Producers: Karena Albers and Tad Fettig |
