Excellent but underrated film

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This documentary has a very long and slow beginning and took a fair bit to get into the documentary but the overall quality of this film is great. It's heart warming and very educational. It really makes you think about how little people care about forests and it's inhabitance. The story of these 15 young people in the jungles of Borneo for 100 days is very inspiring and interesting. First watching this I did not think it would be a topic i'd get into but later finishing it opened my mind up. The documentary makes the audience want to speak up and do something about the global challenges we face. I recommend anyone looking to become educated on the topic or those interested in global challenges to watch this documentary.

I have herd about the fill for some time and I finally got around to watching it very amazing. It really is so powerful and thought provoking. I could only dream of making a film this good. I was very uplifting and ensured hope just by watching it.I almost creed 3 times watching the story unfold and at the end I am buzzing with joy in the hope that films like this can make a difference in this world. I thought it was going to be big brother meats the rain-forest but it is totally not that thank god. I think the exposure of illegal logging is very important. I would have loved for the film to show us what products have palm oil. I would highly recommend this film to anyone looking for hope. My favorite part is the welcoming of the villages.

"Rise of the Eco Warriors" offers a unique way of viewing the deforestation issue in Borneo which is a current and very pressing issue. The whole project as well as the film is quite technology-oriented, which resonates well with or engages a contemporary audience. The structure of the documentary is admirable, as each member of the audience feels as if they are being taken on a journey with the young crusaders and is connected on a level that they share their wins and their losses, their celebration but also their anguish. For this reason,"Rise of the Eco Warriors" is a very moving and evocative film.The producer offers a preempted but proactive perception of the problem (deforestation in the Borneo rainforest) and, in this context, spreads awareness of the alarming statistics and the state of the environment over there, whilst giving the story momentum: There is action. There is change. There is a call to action, providing the audience with methods to become a part of the movement and ultimately the solution.I found the film extremely moving and empowering. No really! I cried during the film and then left the cinema with a strong sense of stewardship and an eagerness to help the environment (especially the situation in Borneo) that couldn't be suppressed. In short, this film will make you care, by lifting the wool from over your eyes and giving you a useful insight into the current state of the environment and how you personally can help. Every action counts! I cannot recommend this film enough and I believe that if you miss out on seeing it during its short seasons in cinemas around the world, you are missing out on an amazing opportunity that could see you become a better and more responsible citizen in our global community.Simply incredible!

I think the message that I took away from this film is the old "power of one". We can all sit there and knock "What will the film achieve in is a seemly impossible situation?" But they are at least trying. Young people away from their ps4 not attached to an iphone trying to make a difference. Who knows who this film will inspire and the ripple it could have.I took my kids today to see The Muppet Movie, I know it's will not be mentioned past today's outing. A few weeks ago I took my kids to see Rise of the Eco Warriors and my year 6 boy picked Palm Oil as his impromptu talk subject (he hates talking in the front of the class) and his teacher that afternoon emailed me how well he spoke and passionately he spoke. And we have celebrated a palm oil free Easter . We should have more film like this showing in main stream cinema and stop dumbing down our kids with Spiderman, Captain America and Lego men let's give them some real heroes and role models.
