    A must see

    Not only have this amazing couple sacrificed much over the last 15 years in an effort to save the Tenkile and other species but in so doing have transformed the lives of the PNG people in this remote area. To see the changes and how they succeeded to get these people on side was truely amazing and inspirational. This is a must watch on several levels, yes initially an effort in conservation this eventually turned into an amazing story about humanity - the power of teaching and empowering people to rise to a new level.

    Inspiring story: changing the lives of people and a forest

    Arriving in the Torricelli Mountain Range in Papua New Guinea, Jean and Jim Thomas wanted to save a species. Instead they built relationships, helped communities, empowered the people who lived there and started their own family. In doing so they may just save the forest. Watch this story and be inspired.

    Unique footage of PNG - Don't Miss!

    This is a truly inspirational multi-faceted true story set in the magnificent Torricelli Mountains in PNG. Wonderful film making with great subjects - The people of the Torricelli Mountains and the environment itself are the stars but the heroes are Jim and Jean Thomas. Jim and Jean facilitate an insight into possibilities - and give us hope that humans can be effective, considerate and intelligent creatures that really can have an effect on the betterment of our planet.

    Local masterpiece with global appeal

    Without a doubt director Mark Hanlin's best ever work which will be hard to eclipse, and a formidable potential contender for Best Documentary Feature at Tribeca. In some ways has a similar feel to Alex Meillier's Alias Ruby Blade (meets Gorillas in the Mist), with inspiration drawn from sheer determination and humanity rather than persecution or individuals' struggles for recognition. The standing ovation for stars Jim and Jean Thomas at the end of the world premiere in Melbourne (Aus) was well deserved.
