Amazing film about one of the few latest paradises on earth
This film made me want to travel to Alaska and meet the natives and have a look at them one last time in shame. We don't own this land. This land owns us and if we forget that the human race will vanish very soon. A striking photography and beautiful music will make this film an unforgettable experience. The impact of oil drilling on natives is well explained and very well understood after watching this film. The impact on all of us on the long run becomes quite clear after watching the film. This film is a must see.
Wayyy one-sided
Extremely biased. Many beautiful shots of the Brooks Range area nowhere near the proposed drilling area (1%) of the whole ANWR area. Little of the proposed drilling area (and nothing in winter.)
Nothing (!) seen of the existing north slope drilling area to actually see what the effect would be on caribou, polar bears etc...
The Gwich'in natives who don't live in the area (opposed) get wayyy more time than the Inupiat (balanced pro/con) who do live there.
And how about this news item :"The Gwich'in tribal council in the Northwest Territories has signed a memorandum of understanding with a Calgary-based exploration company to search for oil and gas on 350 square kilometres of land east of Inuvik, N.W.T." Of course we don't hear anything about this hypocrisy.
The former Alaska Governor gets a few seconds of airtime. Otherwise nothing from the other 99.9% of Alaskans.
The radical enviromentalists - yes. Regular Americans - no...
Very educational
This is a very good, informative film... it was very good to start a discussion about environmental policies.
