    A hopeful conservation story the world should see.

    What a story! From Australia to the wilds of PNG. This is a story that the world needs to see, the need to preserve our last wildl places and the people and animals that call them home is vital for life on Earth. A great film!

    Inspiring work for wildlife, habitat and people

    This documentary takes you on a truly inspirational journey. The work that just two people can achieve is remarkable! You can see that the love and dedication that has gone into their work has started to pay off because you can see the respect they get from the villagers. The imagery is stunning and the passion shines through. Papua New Guinea is one of the last wild places on earth and this documentary really shows just how remote these villages are. You will smile and possibly shed a tear but will definitely come away in awe of what Jim and Jean have achieved so far.

    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.
