SAVIORS OF THE FOREST  

Two California freelance camera guys, tired of shooting
 the same old stuff,   head off to South America to make 
a film that will help save the rainforest there.  But what 
starts out as a simple "find the bad guys" movie turns into an uplifting portrait of  the everyday people  who are making "sustainable" forestry a reality.   From the opening 
chainsaw montage in the jungle, to a climatic raid on a 
shipment of rainforest timber bound for Hollywood movie
 sets,  SAVIORS OF THE FOREST is funny, serious,  
and inspiring.

SAVIORS OF THE FOREST 

Alexander Cockburn and Susanna Hecht, authors of 
"Fate of the Forest" have said that SAVIORS  
"Thankfully lacks the sermonizing self-importance 
of so many other eco-documentaries... 
brilliantly shows the paradoxes that challenge 
simplistic accounts of the way tropical forests 
disappear and how they can be saved..."  

"Brilliant documentary filmmaking"  
says New University press

"Irreverant & Funny"  says San Francisco Chronicle

"Our kind of film"  Earth Island Journal
