This is an French award winning documentary film called Moving Forest complete with English sub titles and has been selected for the monthly film festival. I hope you have time take a look. It not only tells the problem related to clearing the forests but it is a great travel film that is artistically done. For those of you who have been to Indonesia it will be familiar and for for those of you who haven't, it will inspire you. Who knows maybe you will even recognize a few people. Definitely a two thumbs up Five Star flick.
