A stirring portrait of America's leading environmentalist, David Brower, who was instrumental in establishing some of America's most spectacular national parks, while heading the Sierra Club, establishing and directing Friends of the Earth, and later Earth Island Institute. This inspiring profile is filled with footage of some of the most spectacular wilderness areas in the United States, and with excerpts from Brower's home movies and the pioneering environmental documentaries which he made for the Sierra Club. David Brower is a prime example of the difference a dedicated individual can make in the American political landscape.
