- Description
- Description
- "THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA" STATION REVIEW COPY Filmed at some of America's most spectacular locales, the documentary is nonetheless a story of people: people from every conceivable background -- rich and poor; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy. It is a story full of struggle and conflict, high ideals and crass oppotunism, stirring adventure and enduring inspiration, set against the most breathtaking backdrops imaginable.
