American Values: American Wilderness

In AMERICAN VALUES: AMERICAN WILDERNESS, a diverse group of Americans, including a teen-age daughter of Cambodian refugees, a children's book author, a cancer survivor, a Native American tribal chairman, inner city kids, and the late Christopher Reeve, among others, share their values for wilderness. Their experiences and hopes are interspersed with photography of some of the beautiful wild lands that have captured their hearts; as a place of sanctuary for animals and plants, the source of clean air and water, a place for challenge and spiritual renewal, and as a legacy for future generations. A labor of love for Christopher Reeve, the late actor donated his time and energy to this film - one of his last on-screen appearances before his death in October 2004.
