Cove Mallard: Defending the Big Wild

About This Movie

Cove Mallard: Defending the Big Wild is an interesting piece, really. It's a documentary made for the 1994 campaign, showing the efforts to protect the environment. The tone is earnest, almost earnest to a fault, but it captures the spirit of activism from that era. The pacing is typical of a campaign video, moving quickly through various talking points and visuals, but there's a certain charm in its grassroots approach. You can feel the passion behind it, even if the director remains a mystery. It's distinctive for its practical effects, using real footage of the environment and the ducks it aims to protect. It feels like a time capsule of conservation efforts and also a reflection of early 90s environmental discourse.
