 Mystery in Yellowstone—short film—creates the impression that it will be an environmental message movie in its first 10 minutes. Stay with it because it ends as a very educational piece that is worth watching as biologists endeavor to solve aging, declining elk populations only to find the beginning of that decline began over a hundred years ago in the oddest of places. The film is a little slow but paces well. The interviews are not as strong as they could be. The last 20 to 30 minutes solve the mystery. This information could be presented as a quick read in the Smithsonian Magazine rather than a film production. Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline Scientists are trying to figure out why the elk in Yellowstone are dying off in rapid numbers. Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Manfred Corrine for directing effort. Thank you to Smithsonian Channel for producing the film. Cast includes John Beach.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe. This movie does do a good job of showing how everything in our world links to affect everything else. Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers |
