Somehow Hopeful
  • Overview

    When fighting for necessary change, rejection of the status quo is a worthy rebellion. SOMEHOW HOPEFUL is the story of Jason Rutledge, a woodsman dedicating his life to proven methods of protecting our most vital life-giving asset - a healthy, diverse forest.  The woodsman's ally in the fight to restore our environment has been mankind's most reliable partner for thousands of years, the powerful draft horse.  Jason, and those like him, are poets, craftsmen, artists, farmers and educators doing the real work to make our planet whole again. While the woodsman's critics say he's stuck in the past, Jason believes he is in the future.

Really incredible documentary. The actual story is fascinating, but it is the filming, commentary, flow and feel that truly captures the spirit of the message and brings you in and connects you with Jason and the people around him. Most documentaries today demand that you keep your guard up...but too choose a subject matter like this and deliver it in a way that educates and makes you think - is as refreshing as the actual subject matter itself. Bravo.
