Why are the wild places worth saving? This video on David Brower is a good place to start.
Unlike most movie trailers, which tease but don’t give much of the story, this promo for Monumental: David Brower’s Fight for Wild America tells a narrative, and it’s one that’s as compelling now as it was when its subject, longtime Sierra Club director David Brower, was first coming to his outdoor life.
The footage of Brower and his cohorts scrambling peaks in their tennies or running an untamed Grand Canyon is extraordinary, and the messages still resonate: “If you like wilderness, you’ve got to work to try to save some of it so there’ll be some more left for the next generation.”
The DVD of Monumental is on sale for $18.71 from First Run Features. If you’re interested, buy it here
