It was a close race, but I went with the elephants too. The images of those majestic creatures having their spirits broken in such a hoirrific way will haunt me for quite some time.

When I first read the title of this thread, I thought it meant your favorite MountainFilm year, and I would have said the FIRST year (2001) when I first met John R and Jimmy and got to work with them as the MF volunteer coordinator.

Beautiful memories.

Red Gold (Pebble Mine), the elephants are up there too.

I still can't believe that it's been eight years. We're getting old;-)

losing the elephants..... We have come a long way in our understanding of these amazing creatures--that they are so similar to humans in their mental and emotional capabilities--that was an eye opener.

I cannot get over the cruelty shown in this film, cannot get it out of my mind -- the abuse of an animal that really only wants the same things we want--a bonding family, freedom...incredibly emotional.

Pebble Mine, I remember when John R first started putting up his avatar and information. It really didn't hit home what a disaster was in the making until watching the film.

Thanks John and the Telluride folks for a wonderful evening.
