"Informed and educated viewers on plant medicines creating the change we want to see in the world, and we accomplished that." - Marjolaine Forest
"It was a wild ride, the timing not perfect, with no script, no funding and I had thought someone had already done a gorgeous and conprehensive film on herbal medicines. I was shocked, the pressure was on, we were setting the bar for ourselves higher and higher and we depended on all our past experiences, knowledge, patience, diligence and at times assertiveness and intuition." We even had detractors, trolls so to speak, we pressed on and continued anyway." - Marjolaine Forest

Comments and Reviews:
"Wow. I got a lot out of this film. Have watched it twice so far because it has so much to offer. It is already helping my health improve. When you already have the interest and then you get the information it is exciting. I am currently living in an environment where health is not discussed or supported this way so thank you so much to the producer and to fmtv to make it available. All i want to do now is work out how to go and live in the Canadian boreal forest :)" - Viewer, Alison
"This is one of the few films I have seen that truly gives a sense of the magic of the human gathering of wild plant medicines. It captures the essence of the human relationship with plants, of our need of them, of their grace, and of their healing. I recommend it very highly." - Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants and Ensouling Language.
"With production values quite as good as any Oscar-nominated movie, the cinematography, sound, lighting, and editing are all reasons to see this compelling film" - Don Church and Tony Schillaci, Critics On The Aisle, The Resident Magazine, CT
"Very nicely done, heartfelt and powerful." - Dr. Wade Davis, Explorer in Residence, National Geographic Society
"If you’re drawn to that magical place where the nitty-gritty of modern, materialistic science meets the timeless intuitions of shamanism and the great empirical healing systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, Cornell is your guide." - Reviewed by Syd Baumel, The Aquarian Magazine.
