Piece Comment

Review of Ventana Backpacker Vox Pop


An urgent message conveyed in a cheerful understated way. This short unpretentious piece features the voices of novice wilderness hikers. They sound friendly, laid back, not at all earnest, yet they talk about the loss of wilderness very convincingly. Perhaps that topic is almost too big and complex for such a simple piece, but it would be excellent as part of a series of short pieces on related topics, which, I think, is what its producer is working on.
