The Green Chain: Seeing the Forest or the Trees?
by Sami Grover, Carrboro, NC, USA on 08.26.07
Looks like all things green are hot in the movie world. Not so long ago we brought news of The Shift, a movie that sets out to define the increasingly intertwined environmental and social justice movements, and TreeHugger Neal gave DiCaprio’s 11th Hour a resounding thumbs up. Now, via Kristin’s myspace tipster (and sacred tree), The Golden Spruce, we get to hear about yet another important sounding green movie. The Green Chain is a documentary that sets out to explore the complex relationships between forests, loggers and environmentalists:
“The battle between loggers and environmentalists is defining, dividing and destroying communities in Canada and around the world. The Green Chain is a powerful, funny and thought-provoking film about the conflicts between people on both sides of the battle who love trees -- and are willing to risk anything to protect their personal visions of the forest.”
Apparently the film is currently premiering at Montreal’s World Film Festival – we’d love to hear from any readers who have seen it. ::The Green Chain:: via The Golden Spruce::
