Comprehensive Video on GIS
“The World in a Box” Released
The World in a Box is an exciting new one-hour public television special taking the viewer around the world to visit
state-of-the-art GIS installations and the people who use them.
From epidemiology to infrastructure management, the stories depicted in the program serve as an invaluable tool to
dramatize the benefits of GIS and explain its basic concepts to a lay audience. Featured stories include how GIS
professionals at the United Nations are using GIS to predict and prevent famine in Africa; how GIS is helping resolve
conflict between development and the environment in the Pacific Northwest; and how the technology helps manage the
largest port in the world, deliver utility and community services more efficiently, produce better crops, save lives in time
of disaster, and help end the cycle of urban youth violence.
“We’re proud to be a sponsor of this high-quality public television program,” said GITA Executive Director Bob
Samborski. “This informative and unbiased educational program fits perfectly with our mission to promote the use and
benefits of geospatial information technology.”
The World in a Box, produced by the award-winning documentary team of Victoria Eubanks and Cal Lewin, is the
most comprehensive and entertaining look at GIS available on video. The World in a Box video is available for $24.99
plus shipping and handling. To order a copy go to
