"I bet you think that the National Forest Service consists of the tree-hugging custodians of our national heritage, the 155 forests in the National Forest System, huh. Think again. They seem to be timber-hungry clear cutters, happy to build a road into virtually any virgin forest in pursuit of fresh board feet. This compelling documentary lays out some very simple facts so that anyone with half a brain can see the ruinous damage being wrought on our public lands. Witness the endless shots of bare hills stripped of gorgeous, lush forests. Listen to the professionals and experts give a step-by-step overview of just what occurs in a soon-to-be-decimated forest near you. But isn't it a conservation verses jobs issue? Not really. The timber companies would be the first ones to get rid of their labor force the moment there's a technological advance in automatic timber harvesting. Just look how quickly the auto industry replaced people with robots. Witness the power of ! a documentary to open eyes, move mountains, and maybe even save a forest." filmson.com
