The life and work of an environmentalist.

John Hartl

Seattle Times

Much of "Force of Nature" feels familiar and unnecessarily predigested.

Rated: 2/4

Dr. Suzuki's upbeat tone is the spoonful of sugar that makes the bitter medicine go down.

Force Of Nature is filled with broadly profound wisdom, but it doesn't feel weighty despite the topics at hand.

Maclean's Magazine

Gunnarsson's unalloyed devotion to his subject allows Suzuki's vision to range over an emotional, and cosmic, scale that goes beyond his TV persona.

A beautiful person, so much to learn from his example. Fantastic documentary that shows you how a different point of view is often a way to see the real nature of the world. Waiting for the world to awake and be aware

A superb reminder of just how intimately linked to nature we truly are and how easy it is to forget the symbiotic relationship we share with all of life on this rock. And how life, air, water, earth, wind, conservation, biodiversity, and a balanced approach to living must come first. After all, the economy comes from the biosphere, not the other way around. You have to be blind not to see the love this man is, and has for nature, and for his family. And how they are one and the same to him. This is one of those few shows I have added to my "must see yearly" list. Enjoy!

I would have not seen this if it was not a Starbuck's free rental but so glad I did. It was very well done.
