The Mission

On the Earth Productions is a media production company that is dedicated to informing the public about important educational, environmental and political issues that affect our every-day lives. We bring these issues to light in a variety of ways, including DVD recordings of comprehensive documentaries, political speakers, and a television series that airs on more than four cable access stations around the Midwest. Our Educational Video Series is now available from any Library in the world, thanks to the support of UW-Madison, the location where the series is housed. Go to our our WorldCAT library page for more information.
