Thanks for posting. Looks like a lot of you will finally get to see it. It's funny that the ad says "starring Bill Pullman". He appears in only a couple of minutes of the movie. They shot here in Hawaii with Ken and Bill over one week and then just used a couple of minutes of footage. Will be interesting to find out if the movie really has different footage than the youtube show from Canada?
Oscar,
One of the most time consuming things for a movie is the splicing of footage to develop an easy flowing film. I doubt they would make two versions of the same movie for a documentary. It was interesting to see Richard Campbell climbing a white mango tree. Also interesting to see familiar faces Sheenan and Chris Rollins
There are 2 versions: one is the one shown on the Canadian TV show Nature of Tbings (the link to which was already posted here quite some time ago), that was sliced up for commercials and for the introduction by the host, and the other is the documentary movie that is a full length movie. The second seems to have more of Pullman and about his orchard in Hollywood, California.
Oscar apparently you are right.
The film summary: "The film features Pullman trying his hardest to establish a community orchard in Hollywood while Campbell and Ledesma comb dense jungles in search of a rare mango. Follow the journey of other fruit hunters from around the world – a scholar studying depictions of fruit in paintings at an Italian monastery, a Honduran scientist researching the dangers of growing bananas as a monoculture, a fruit expert growing ice-cream bean trees in Hawaii, and an indigenous tribe in Borneo saving fruit trees threatened by loggers."
I figure most of the content is the same.
