The plot sounds similar to the Miazaki animated film 'Princess Mononoke' "The plot centers on the struggle between the animal spirits who inhabit the forest and the humans who exploit the forest for industry." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Mononoke
I highly recommend this Miasaki film. Not to worry, foresters aren't depicted as villains, it's all about out of control human needs and learning to balance and mitigate our impact. It is a very beautiful film with a strong spiritual undercurrent. -AJ Edward Frank wrote: > Kirk, > > I think you are mistaken to try to attribute the events depicted in > the movie to any particular current political situation.
