Full Plot Details

Approaching age 75, scientist Dr. David Suzuki, seen by many as the leading environmentalist in Canada, is giving a lecture in Vancouver. As he stands behind the lectern, he tells many reasons why he and we should care about the environment. With the human population growing exponentially and humans having increasingly longer life expectancies, we as a species are having a larger footprint on the environment. Much of what is man made in the world, such as the economy, democracy and the dependence on fossil fuels, are treated as unchangeable forces of nature, when in reality they can and should be viewed critically, especially in their long term consequences on life on the planet. He also tells of the interconnectedness we are as a species without most really realizing it, and that we should have a stronger connection to place and what that means. Away from the lecture stage, he tells of the profound effect the bombing on Pearl Harbor had on his life as a third generation Canadian of Japanese heritage, and the resulting negative view of white Canada on ethnic Japanese for the better part of his growing up period. Beyond the internment of Japanese-Canadians in camps during WWII, this situation was especially problematic when he was a typically horny teenager in almost exclusively white Leamington, Ontario where he could not approach white girls for dates. He spent the best part of his scientific days at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee before moving back to his hometown of Vancouver and a job at the University of British Columbia. He does not consider himself to be the greatest of scientific minds, but sees himself as being a good communicator of science to the public, as seen through his long running television show The Nature of Things (1960). His interest in the environment took a stronghold in the 1980s when he was made aware of the fight against logging in Haida Gwai. This connection is now all the more important as his daughter Severn Cullis-Suzuki has since married into the culture.

Movie Reviews

Variety - 10/10 by Alissa SimonAlthough Suzuki's message that humans have exhausted the resources of the biosphere and need to rethink their relationship with the natural world may be a familiar one, it bears repeating.
New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenDr. Suzuki's upbeat tone is the spoonful of sugar that makes the bitter medicine go down.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlMuch of "Force of Nature" feels familiar and unnecessarily predigested.
Monsters and Critics - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonToo much to say, and too little time to say it, David Suzuki cheers for the global environment.
Mark Leeper's Reviews - 6/10 by Mark R. Leepera complex portrait of a man ill-used by humanity in his youth and in this elder years still dedicated to convincing humanity to save itself.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Mark HolcombSuzuki's unimpeachable cred as a longtime climate-change evangelist and swooning regard for the natural world do give the conversation a convincing, if depressing, urgency, but what sets Force of Nature apart is the sweeping diversity of his life.
Urban Cinefile - 5/10 by Louise KellerHis legacy lecture may in parts be dry but the documentary reminds us of Suzuki's humanitarian legacy and the art of communication about issues that are vital to all of us
User Review - 8/10 by PierLuigi FI would have not seen this if it was not a Starbuck's free rental but so glad I did. It was very well done.
User Review - 8/10 by Erika DThis was a really great film that incorporated a lecture that David Suzuki gave while also telling the story of this life. It's a touching story that leaves you with a lot of good things to think about.
User Review - 8/10 by Cory KI went into the film expecting a preachy enviro doc (ala Inconvenient Truth.) What I got was something much different. It took me a while to digest what I saw, but what struck home with me was that this was less a film about the environment (although those notions come through loud and clear) and more a manual on how to be a human being. The patriarchal themes hit especially close to the nerve and I think audience members would have to be hard hearted not to see the relevance of what it means to be a father, a son or grandfather in their own lives. It also bullseyed the foolishness of placing value on things that have no value and ignoring the worth of things that truly bring us wealth. Like every great person, Dr, Suzuki is fallible by societal standards, but the film shows us that fallibility can teach us great wisdom if we just open our eyes to it. It's a much deeper portrayal of Suzuki than we have ever seen and it is in those moments of quiet reflection, when Suzuki thinks about the questions he has just answered, that we begin to get insight into what makes the man tick.
