Above All Else

About This Movie

So, 'Above All Else' is this raw and gritty documentary that really dives into the personal stakes behind environmental activism. You’ve got this ex-stuntman, whose history in high-wire acts adds this crazy tension to his endeavors. The pacing is methodical, which gives you a chance to absorb the weight of the situation as he gathers a diverse group of landowners against the Keystone XL pipeline. The atmosphere feels urgent, almost tense, as it showcases the real-life struggle of these activists. It's not just about the political side; it’s deeply personal, focusing on family and community. That’s what sets it apart – the human element woven through the activism, and the sense of risk that comes with standing up against corporate interests. The practical effects really lie in the authenticity of the activism itself, and the performances are just, well, real.
