a forest returns

I thought the movie was very interesting. I did not know very much about the history of the Wayne National Forest. I found it refreshing because it was a success story instead of a devastating story. It was nice to see something re-grow and bring jobs and happiness to the area. It was also nice to see something the government did help people rather than hurt people. After reading Lost Mountain, I find myself thinking about our corrupt government a lot, but this movie was nice because it reassured me that not everything the government does is bad.

I also enjoyed the movie because it was about the area I live in. It was nice to learn about the history of where I live. I liked learning about the iron furnaces because I have seen a few of them, and heard about them, but the movie put all the information I previously had together. The history of the area makes more sense to me now than it did before.
