Compelling & beautifully filmed

"( 8/10: Minor flaws that can be overlooked - Worth your time ) Understory tells the tale of Tongass National Forest, the people who call it home, and their long war against old-growth logging. The documentary contrasts the natural beauty of Tongass with the ugliness of industry. And let me tell you: the ugliness of logging is not limited to the act of logging. Industrialist cover up pollution, environmental damage & cultural harm with misinformation campaigns and cutesy cartoon animals in TV ads... If you care about nature, Understory is worth a watch. Steel yourself; it can be hard hit..."
