“What initially seems like an ordinary film about nature and eccentric personalities quickly takes on a different hue. Herzog shows the connection between the “heroic” conservation of nature and the privileged position of the conservationist, often arising precisely from the forces that destroyed that nature in the first place. Is this what environmentalism looks like in the 21st century: the West, having profited from the devastation of nature, now allowing itself to weep over what has been lost?” (Programme curator Vladas Rožėnas)
