"During 30 working years as a professional mountain guide, pilot and cinematographer in the Rocky Mountains of North America, I became increasingly concerned with the many changes I witnessed. When National Geographic and History Television commissioned me to create a four hour HDTV documentary series I chose the Y2Y region as my central focus. My approach was not linear. I wove back and forth, from present to the past exploring the natural wonders, cultural heritage and future of the Rockies in a well-paced and sometimes controversial composite of visions. I drew on narrative from eminent scientists, adventurers, aboriginal elders, resource managers, conservationists and developers, all of whom live under the spell of the Great Divide. As a result, "Shining Mountains" has been translated into 12 languages and is being broadcast around the world in 32 countries. I am hopeful the series is giving its international audience a sense of wonder and stewardship in the future of wild places."
