Hi Jennifer,
An ETV (educational television) series was shown in New Zealand last
year about the environment and one of the ten episodes was called 'In the
name of progress'. This included a short excerpt on the Chipko movement. I
don't know who produced the series but they had Meryl Streep narrating it.
I'm sorry I don't have any other information on this, but maybe some other
web crawler can help.
Good luck,
Regina
