LOVED IT! by Mandi Sue Shick (DuBois, PA)  4 Stars
May 11, 2009
This film did an excellent job with showing a human's impact in a lifetime. There were astounding facts that were hard for me to even wrap my mind around! This would be a great movie for Earth Day for classrooms... I showed it to my 5th graders and they were all amazed. I wish that there was some information on how to detract from our human footprint. Overall, 2 thumbs up!
