It's a "true story" but I was left wondering: "Is it "Hollywood true" or "true-true"?" The bad guys are really bad and the good guys are really good.
Although the environmental issues are addressed and resolved were the economic issues ever resolved? I was left hanging. The issue is: it it possible to have environmental friendliness while being able to build a middle class?
There's a nude scene that is nice to look at but left me wondering how it was necessary to further the story.
The film did raise issues to discuss: the company store, liberation theology, the rain forest, non-violent protest and development versus saving the environment.
It is a good Earth Day film to view and then have a discussion. This is especially true for Americans who are the worst polluters in the world and tend to look to the rain forest instead of in their own backyards.
The performances are very good. Be prepared to cry.
