3/4
Elemental stands out from the perpetual flow of eco-documentaries by at least glancing at some of the personal issues and professional setbacks faced by the activists it portrays. Go to Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 06/14/2013
2.5/4

3/5

Jenny A 09/16/2023 It was better that I thought it would be. I really hope there's a sequel. Definitely cried a few times. See more 09/04/2013 Interesting, if a bit meandering - some of the portraits could have used a bit more details - e.g. why was that woman fired from the Rainforest Action Network?
