Movie Reviews

The sort of professional we need more of.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"High Plains films has many fascinating films, and "The Naturalist" is no exception. It presents the work of a person who has dedicated himself, much like Henry David Thoreau, to studying the ecosystem he lives in. Given that this industrialized, hyper-consumptive world so often disregards nature - paves it, damns it, mines it, clear-cuts it, poisons it - Kent Bonar's respect for creation seems almost subversive. I wish our corporate media wasn't sponsored by car companies and owned by weapons contractors like GE; otherwise, worthwhile movies like this would be aired, and would provide the US population with information about things that really matter, instead of endless glorified gun battles, car chases, and other programming that degrades our species.

Anybody who has enjoyed being outdoors, which is pretty much everybody, will appreciate this top quality documentary.
I'd also recommend the DVD "Varmints," and Richard Louv's "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.""
