Editorial Review:

Description:
AWARD WINNER, SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL This beautiful and disturbing film recounts America's story from the environment's point of view. From the arrival of Columbus to the simple wilderness living of the 16th and 17th centuries, through the agrarian lifestyle of the 18th century, the changes from the Industrial Revolution, to the 20th century when most of the planet's resources have been depleted -- this film examines the North American landscape and all the wildlife destruction, deforestation, soil depletion and pollution that have been wrought to make the American Dream come true.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than average documentary
A crisp, vibrant historic overview of our very own America. With an environmental-based tone, the feature covers a lot of ground. An all-star cast provides narration and the director maintains an "arty" feel as he masterfully uses historic footage and first rate cinematography to tell his (and our) story. Highly recommended.
