The Eternal Forest Part 1

Description

This film deals with the relationship of man and his environment — specifically, forests and woodlands. Eloquent narration and artistic photography are combined to create a poetic program on American forests, and the camera becomes a vivid, moving spectator as it reviews swamp trees, redwoods, coastal pines in New England, and Southern and Sierra forests. The camera work and colors also reveal the beauty, serenity, grandeur, and awesomeness of one of the country's greatest natural resources, while also providing a persuasive message on forest conservation. The film was narrated by Gregory Peck.
