Rating: - KNOW NOTHING OF THE DVD! BUT OF MEMBERS! THEY ARE GOLD!
So far I have gave 53(I think) reviews and to tell the

and see what my friends from AMAZON have written.
For I know I will find something not only knew,but
totally amazing from my friends Betty Dravis,James Wanzer

Rating: - good nature film, great for family viewing.
Enjoyed the scenery in this movie, and was glad I purchased it. Very informative about how we are destroying the coral reefs, and how global warming is affecting the reefs.
Rating: - Thank YOU!
Thank YOU for taking me into the Amazon in the comfort of my own house. If it weren't of you guys, I would have never seen these beautiful sceneries that nature has to offer.
