CGiii Comment
This has got to be a joke!!! Annie Sprinkle and her ecosexual 'movement' certainly is.
This is a film of two distinct halves: the important (and serious) environmental and social issues surrounding Mountain Top Removal and the utter nonsense that is 'ecosexuality'.
Tree huggers are au fait with being the target of derision...here, they take it to a whole new level, tree shagging...two lesbians - clad in fancy dress - marry a mountain and cavort naked in the beauty of nature - unfortunately, it's not a pretty sight.
Sprinkle and Stephens, perhaps, are sincere in their environmental concerns...but, the stench of the self-serving publicity stunts manages only to trivialize the gravity of the situation. No-one could possibly take these two celebrity-wannabees seriously...especially when Stephens proclaims tomatoes to be sexy!
We're laughing at you...not with.
This is an issue that deserves a credible film...this is not it.

What happens when we change our relationship from Earth as Mother to Earth as Lover? This is the story of how two ecosexuals, Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, came to marry the Appalachian Mountains and join the fight to abolish mountain top removal (MTR). Documenting a trip back to Beth's hometown of Gauley Bridge, West Virginia, the film examines how small communities face destruction for short-term corporate gain and the brave activists who put their own bodies on the line to try to stop it. Featuring extreme tree hugging, rock kissing, and skinny-dipping, it shows how the fight against environmental injustice can be a little more sexy, fun, hopeful, and diverse.
