    Excellent!
    I had not heard about Bruno Manser until I watched this movie. This is a must see, very accurate to his life experience. There are some great leaders who are often not seen as great, but I imagine heroes like Bruno will be far more revered in 50 or 100 years or so. The catastrophe of what is being done to the environment & those who live with nature like the Penan, is a tragedy all in the pursuit of business. The consequences of these massive land clearances which Bruno and others worked so hard to stop, recognising his options as a westerner; this is the story of a hero.
