That looks amazing. I love the sale in the intro. "You own the most beautiful oceans, the most beautiful mountains" etc. A really interesting way to look at the national park system!

This has been all over NPR, The Colbert Show, and The Daily Show, and other outlets I follow (it's amazing how precise these advertisers are).

I look forward to watching it, probably via Bit Torrent.

You can just watch it online via the website. Sometimes, there's just a simpler solution ;)

I wonder what year the picture of the beach is from. I was at that beach in 2005 and It had a lot of sticks on it. There was also a warning sign.
