The Practice of the Wild
The Practice of the Wild" is a film profile of the poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Gary Snyder.
Snyder has been a creative force in all the major cultural changes that have created the modern world.
Along with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, he was a central figure of the Beat generation.
He helped bring Zen Buddhism into the America scene, was an active participant in the anti-war movement and an inspiration for the quest for human potential.
All along he was a founding intellect, essayist and leader of the new environmental awareness that supports legislation and preservation without losing sight of direct wild experience -- local people, animals, plants, watersheds and food sources.
Starring: Gary Snyder and Jim Harrison
