Customer Reviews

A Wonderful Movie
This was a very warm and inspiring movie! It shows how one person with a lot of determination can make a difference. Before seeing the movie I had no idea of how the protection for the Spirit Bear came about or how this young boy was able to turn his fight for an animal he loved into a worldwide organization to help preserve our precious wild animals and their habitat. I was left feeling very uplifted with the knowledge that there are so many out there who care about preserving our planet and her wildlife. If you are an animal and earth lover, you will really enjoy this film. I thought the acting was a little weak and phony, but the beautiful scenery and the message it brings across makes up for it.

You can do it too.
This is a story of a boy who would not give up.
I was so moved by this film that,as a teacher, I wanted to share it with my students, and encourage them to think about the environment and that we do indeed share this planet with other creatures.
That Simon could , as a boy, change the way a goverment thinks must be a powerful lesson to us all. I know it is an old cliche, but one person can really make a difference.
I encourage everyone to see this film. I hope it will inspire you too, as it did me.

A Wonerful, Suprising Movie That Everyone Needs To See
I purchased this movie because I am a Graham Greene fan, and the movie kept showing up on recommended lists as a Native American movie. This is not a Native American movie, this is a movie about saving our environment and the fortitude of a young man named Simon Jackson.

When I watched the movie, I was totally moved by its presentation and portrayals. It reminded me of years gone by, when environmentalists picked environmental causes, not political causes; when a hand few of determined people could really bring about something great. And it is great family entertainment, that is educational as well. Not recommended for people worried about money or jobs; Marxists need not watch.
