El Dorado

This film looks into many of the same issues that are seen right here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The drama played out in Camino, a small town in the Sierra foothills of El Dorado National Forest, has been echoed across the country: once-friendly neighbors embroiled in hostile confrontations as workers fight to save their jobs and environmentalists fight to protect the national forests.

The film takes an unusually unbiased look at four local residents, two timber workers and two environmentalists, as they try to balance the health of the El Dorado National Forest with the jobs of the workers who depend on it.
