“FACING THE STORM, a new documentary about bison being screened tonight at the Emerson Center for Arts and Culture, is nothing if not ambitious. The film sets out to document "the complete history of human relations with the largest land mammal on the continent.”
Bozeman Daily Chronicle
“A smart, elegant production...sure bison are photogenic, iconic and mostly gone, but the film gets beyond the familiar story we think we know.”
Newwest.net
“Featuring archival film and photographs, breathtaking original footage, evocative animated sequences, and a slate of interviews with a diverse array of characters -- from scientists to ranchers, animal rights activists to state governors -- FACING THE STORM paints a portrait of the issue that's as broad and subtly shaded as the Great Plains themselves.”
Missoulian
“Beautifully documented... both historical documentary and wildlife film, FACING THE STORM may be the most comprehensively-concise examination of how and why we managed to nearly eradicate 30 million animals from the Great Plains in less than 50 years, and what's being done today to ensure their survival.”
