The film celebrates the people and passion that saved the coastal wonders that would become the Point Reyes National Seashore and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
With California's rapid population rise in the 1950s, the California coast seemed destined to follow the prevalent pattern of suburban development. But, these citizen rebels changed the fate of the land. Their efforts set new precedents for protecting open space and shaped the environmental movement as we know it today.
"What happened here is worth sharing because it shows all of the gains happened in incremental baby step ways. They weren't magnificent, you didn't all of a sudden say, here's a hundred thousand acre park. It wasn't like that. It was all incremental."
-Gary Giacomini, Marin County Supervisor 1972-1996
