Great Bear Rainforest

This movie is a good one for young family members and brings about more awareness for our youth of their future unless they act upon doing something to make a difference. There are not many movies of this type for young people to get back to nature. Unfortunately, many of our youth (and their parents) tend to leave issues like the Spirit Bear to someone else ... if there is someone else.

This young 15 year old strove forth to protect the habitat of the spirit bear from a big business logging company. Enlisting Graham Green to act in the supporting and guiding role gave this movie the boost and credibility it needed.

Would I buy this movie? Not for myself. It is a good one for renting, and would recommend it to families with youngsters (and the parents point out the website shown at the end of the movie and participate with their kids with a looksee at the site
