DVD Reviews of Alaska Silence & Solitude
DVD Review: National Geographic?
Summary: 3 Stars
This is more of the old style National Geographic (prior to the Discovery Channel type of programming), although it is of much better quality than the NG specials of my youth.
If you want to see more of Mr. Proenneke, like the first biography 20 years ago, this is not it. While it does show some footage, both old and new, the majority of the DVD is simply footage of vistas, some animals, some rain and bad winds on the lake, and an infection you get from gutting fish that have teeth.
With as many supplies as those guys flew into the bush, it does not even touch on the hard life and challenges that Mr. Proenneke has had, in the past or present...they were there for 3 weeks and cooked on a Coleman-fueled stove the whole time.
You would be better served to watch it on PBS or rent it, not buy the DVD for $20+. It simply is not worth it with no more insight into Mr. Proenneke's life and the last 20 years, than you obtain by watching Alone In The Wilderness...if even that much.
It gets 3 stars because it does show Mr. Proenneke a few minutes, and it is Alaska.
Description of Alaska Silence & Solitude
This is the follow-up DVD to "Alone in the Wilderness". Join nature filmmakers Bob Swerer Sr. and Bob Swerer as they venture into the remote wilderness of Alaska to experience and film the abundant wildlife in the region 25 years later. Along with spectacular Alaskan scenery you will encounter bull moose, caribou, dahl sheep and grizzly bear. You will also meet a man by the name of Dick Proenneke, who has by himself lived in this "one man wilderness" for over 30 years. For those who dream of a true wilderness experience, in the wilds of Alaska, this is the next best thing to being there.Bestsellers in DVD
