A world tour of some of the most advanced GIS installations. Explains GIS and how it's changing people's lives. As global change accelerates, can we understand our complex world clearly enough to make effective decisions for our future? This is the question posed by award winning documentary filmmakers Victoria Eubank and Cal Lewin at the beginning of this fascinating exploration of Geographic Information Systems. See how GIS is helping prevent famine in Africa, break the cycle of urban crime in California, resolve environmental conflict over the forests of the Pacific Northwest, understand global warming in the Arctic, plan our cities decades into the future, prevent disease, speed rescue in time of disaster and protect endangered species.
