Just click the appropriate button below, or watch the preview.

I became very attached to the Great Aletsch Glacier while making this film. Like Martin Nellen, one of the characters in the film, I often refer to it as "my glacier". I hope by watching this film, others will feel the way that I do about this amazing phenomenon of nature and realize that if it is going to exist in the future, we need to drastically change our habits as humans.

You can learn more about the film at www.aletschfilm.com, where it can also be purchased or rented.

A swarm of bees tried to take up residence in our wall, so a local Beekeeper brought over this "Hive Trap" which tricks the bees into colonzing it instead of our home.
