StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

christiancem If you're looking for a detailed documentary Gringo Tails is the way to go. It makes a person think about a tourist and if they are good or bad. It makes a person create an opinion of good stories or bad ones. This documentary makes you feel like your part of someone's story by making you feel like your actually there. The movie length could have been a little shorter by eliminating the unnecessary interviews. Overall it was a good documentary not too long but not too short.

momaxwell-98003 The documentary "Gringo Trails" directed/produced by Pegi Vail offers insight into how the tourism industry has changed over the past 30 or so years. The film is very well made and shows viewers how tourism may be destroying the world. The documentary takes stories from a variety of different people and applies them to the different ways these stories have affected areas across the world. The story may be slow so you must pay attention. This film will make you respect and appreciate other cultures much more. I would recommend for others.

Several natives, tour guides, and travel writers are interviewed about how the influx of tourist and how it has effected their daily lives and how these tourist have disturbed their environments. The film reveals shots of liter-filled beaches of exclusive destinations that have become overrun by tourists. The documentary does include subtitles, which can be distracting, but it sometimes in necessary given the speaker. It is very educational and shows what can happen when a destination becomes too popular.

Jen Langan The film Gringo Trails allows the audience to see the real effects of tourism and a new perspective of the problems that it causes on both a local and global scale. It informs us of the evolving industry of tourism as well as the negative impacts that it has on the environment. This documentary shows the far off places of the Bolivian jungle, the beaches of Thailand, the deserts of Timbuktu, Mali, and Bhutan. These locations that were once hidden gems have been transformed over the years and turned it into an unauthentic experiences. Gringo Trails does an amazing job of pointing out that when visiting a foreign country, you are a 'guest' and should act as one.
