Produced by the US Forest Service, this government film takes a look at the diverse American landscape. The film is a conglomeration of footage from various parks across the country, including Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana, Coconino, National Forest in Arizona, and the Caribbean National Forest in Puerto Rico. Images of blissful campers, fluttering butterflies, and idyllic sunsets are enhanced with synthesized melodies reminiscent of 1980s popular music. With no dialogue, the images speak for themselves.
