Beautifully photographed tree-hugging. Director Bill Couturié has made an environmentalist documentary designed to illustrate how humans, their greed, and their pollution have destroyed huge sections of this country.

Earth and the American Dream is sincere but boring, a warning that comes off as condescending. C
