"He's Canada at its very best."

David Suzuki -- award-winning geneticist, television host, best-selling author, celebrated lecturer and environmentalist -- is recognized and admired world-wide, from Australia to Zimbabwe.
As host of the popular series, "The Nature of Things," Suzuki has been bringing science to millions of people around the world for more than twenty years, yet few people know the man behind the face.
THE NATURE OF DAVID SUZUKI is a personal journey through Suzuki's life. It explores his childhood in a World War II internment camp, and examines the price of his current fame.
The portrait that emerges reveals a man who is an honest and insightful critic of his own character - who is not afraid to challenge his own assumptions and conditioning.
Awards:
Bronze Plaque, Columbus International Film Festival
Reviews:
"This is a satisfying portrait of a ubiquitous TV personality and a dedicated environmentalist." Booklist

"It's precisely (his) ruthless honesty that makes him more than okay...he's Canada at its very best." The Georgia Straight
