Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
brianloffler This is by far the most powerful and inspiring movie I have seen on effective community organizing and activism to protect our precious planet for future generations. It's highly recommended for a dose of optimism. In a fine example of great storytelling, this beautifully produced movie is a gripping tribute to the commitment of the people of the Northern Rivers, who put their bodies on the line to care for the earth that sustains us.
