Spectacular, Inspiring, and Insightful are only a few words that could begin to describe this documentary. This movie does an amazing job at making the viewer feel like they are in nature. While watching this film, I felt as if I was transported into the forests and feet away from the animals themselves. The cinematography was incredible, including both the pans of the forest that outlined the vastness of the lands as well as the extreme close ups that took you inches away from an animal. The message of the film both excited me and inspired me to reevaluate the relationship I have with nature. Its story of how disconnected human nature has become with nature was shocking and extremely informative. It took what you thought you knew about human society and nature and turned it on its head. It seems as if as a society, we have forgotten how nature is there to help us from actions as simple as providing the oxygen we breathe. Through this film, it both addressed the growing problem of disconnection humans seem to have with nature and provided solutions of how we can reestablish this connection. I also loved how you could truly feel how dedicated the director is to this issue and her passion for nature itself. I was fortunate enough to be able to meet the director at the viewing and hear her backstory. Although, it is not imperative that you meet her before viewing this film as her message was crystal clear through only the movie itself. Nature is an important part of our world and we need to discover its importance again. I would recommend this movie to any person, young or old. It really gives an insight into our world today and what we are missing from the big picture.
