The Roots of Heaven
“Of human laughter, wonder and tenderness !”
AdventureDrama
In French Equatorial Africa, an idealist campaigns to save the African elephant, gaining support from a nightclub hostess and an ex-soldier. His cause attracts a mix of characters, including a U.S. commentator, a government aide opposed to him, and an ivory hunter with conflicting interests.
VIBE
A grand, sweeping adventure with an earnest heart. It feels like a classic Hollywood epic grappling with big ideas about nature, humanity, and the struggle for ideals in a complex world. A thoughtful, if sometimes slow, journey.
