New York Times

The documentary is conventionally structured and sometimes placid, but it has an alarming message.

SF Weekly

Public Trust is as full of well-photographed environmental rapture as a Disney nature film. But it has far more of a point, and much more of a reason to exist.

...almost too slick at first, with stunning views of national parklands making the documentary feel like a travel informercial at times. But so much eye candy only renders the more horrifying Byars' climactic survey...

As a documentary, Public Trust takes a side with vigor and heart - and gorgeous scenery. Just don't miss the information cards preceding the credits.
