Produced in 1990; released on DVD in 2008. 20 minutes. Keeping score is a big part of sports.

Produced in 1985; released on DVD in 2007. 39 minutes. Still informative and relevant today, this environmental mystery story investigates what was killing the seagrasses here in the Chesapeake Bay, the country's largest and richest estuary.
