26 minutes/Grades 7-Adult

Big dams are often the favorite projects of developing
countries and the banks that fund them. But to Britain's leading
television environmentalist, David Bellamy, they symbolize the
arrogance with which we assault the natural world with our notions
that size and expensive technology can solve our economic and
social problems. This obsession with size is not restricted to
Third World development. In his usual high-energy and passionate
style, Bellamy urges everyone to ask, "Who profits now, and who
pays later?" With Guide
This program is part of the TURNING THE TIDE series, seven
programs addressing our world's major environmental problems.
