Global Village Media is embarking on a ninety-minute biographical documentary of the extraordinary life and influence of this one man in American history. Not only did he have an enormous impact on the American West at the turn of the 20th century, his vision also survived long after his death.
We will shoot this documentary on high definition in the spectacular landscapes that shaped Muir - and were, in turn, shaped by his devotion. A diversity of images will run through the two hours: Dunbar, Muir's birthplace in Scotland's East Lothian district, the Wisconsin woods of his childhood, the Martinez home and fruit ranch he inhabited with his wife and daughters, the Sierra Nevada mountains that inspired him to become an active conservationist, the Alaskan wilderness that so attracted him and the National Parks that he was so instrumental in creating.
