Wild by Law
US (1991): Documentary
By mid-twentieth century civilization had erased much of America's natural landscape. As wilderness shrank, the movement to protect it grew -- and eventually America did what no other country in the world had ever done: it created a law to protect its remaining wild lands forever. Wild by Law is the story of the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the three men responsible for its passage: Aldo Leopold, the naturalist who first brought the word "ecology" into standard use; Bob Marshall, the millionaire socialist who founded the Wilderness Society; and Howard Zahniser, a tireless bureaucrat with a profound love for the wild places he seldom saw.
