"Riveting.... Highly recommended."
Read full review from the Video Librarian

"It's probably impossible to get a true idea of just how large and devouring these chip mill operations are, but the footage of the plants, the mountains of chips and logs, the incredible grinders pulling two foot diameter trees into their maws is scary enough."

"Stunning.... Southbound provides a close look at one of the most troubling issues in forestry today. It puts a human face on the distress chip mills cause a community, and it provides a thorough look at the land itself."

"Environmental advocacy without extreme bias." Booklist

"Hawes-Davis takes a leading position, alerting us to a vast environmental threat. While policy-makers and the press are still pondering the fate of the Ancient Forests of the Pacific Northwest, Southbound urges us to take stock of the recovering wild and natural forests in the Southeast that are again coming under attack as they were in the 1800's." Save America's Forests

"Southbound lays the framework for the fight to protect and restore this region to it's natural grandeur." Wild Mountain Times

"Compelling.... An excellent film." Final Judges Panel, 19th International Wildlife Film Festival

"Regardless of the point-of-view of the filmmakers, the decision to let such a large of array of interviewees present their own political points-of-view, agendas and opinions is cleverly orchestrated."  UNC Educational Reviews
