Review

inspiring documentary about one of the greatest conservationists in american history. he was the first executive director of the sierra club and led the fight to save many areas from development, particularly dam building. if not for his efforts the following areas would not be preserved or would be in varying states of development: grand canyon, point reyes, redwood n.p., north cascades n.p., and more that i can’t recall. of course it wasn’t just him, it was also secretary of the interior udall, lady bird johnson and others who were in positions of power, but brower was largely responsible for spearheading many campaigns for preservation.
