"Forest Man" is a Canadian documentary short film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. It is until now the most known work by relatively young writer and director William Douglas McMaster. I watched the version the filmmaker uploaded on Youtube that only runs for 16.5 minutes and not for 23 as it says here on IMDb. Anyway, this is the story of an Indian man who planted many trees in favor of the environment on his little island. That's basically the core of it all really. Nice nature recordings, a soothing soundtrack and a couple interviews are all there is to this one here. It's a nice little movie in terms of the environment and you could categorize it as a film about everyday heroes, a subject people love referring to in films. Sadly, the way this was made is perhaps not as outstanding as the person depicted in here and the consequence is a relatively mediocre outcome overall. But thanks to the noble cause I still give it a thumbs-up while adding that it is not as good as it could have been, even if admittedly that's also quite a challenge at this runtime especially.
