Environmental activist Bruno Manser tries to save the Penan tribe from deforestation in Borneo.

It's a shame that when the world at last is willing to listen to a story like this, Paradise War is so poorly spoken.

This well-done biopic is a lesson in how one person's courage and dedication can go far in opposing exploitation. Protecting the rainforest and the people living in harmony with their environment should be on everyone's mind, simply because we are all affected by the state of the natural world. A needed opportunity to reacquaint ourselves with a mindset that calmly knows what really is important in life.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
