Either you get it or you don't

This is the best example of the beneficial use of film/TV I have seen in many, many years. If you're a thoughtful person who also has wondered if you could live in harmony with Nature, then you'll LOVE this film and want to share it with everyone you know.

If you're neither, don't waste your time.

Alone in the Wilderness airs regularly on public TV stations around the country so you can check it out there if you're diligent. Also, many public libraries will have it but it will always be checked out in most locations.

If you have an interest in this topic (solitary, independent living), you MUST see this film.
