Monkey Puzzle – The Movie

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Monkey Puzzle follows five intrepid friends on an adventure into New South Wales’ Blue Mountains on a search for the world’s rarest tree, the Wollemi Pine.

After abseiling into rainforest canyons, a series of mishaps delay their adventure. Tensions in the group surface quickly. As the friends become engulfed by the harsh terrain, they come face-to-face with their most personal secrets and fears on a journey which will test their perceptions of friendship, intimacy, and the nature of their pasts.

Well, the movie isn’t about us (though it could be, in a sense)…but if you’d like to dig it anyway, click here: Monkey Puzzle.

Your Moment of Zinn

“Everyone does need to learn history, the kind that does not put its main emphasis on knowing presidents and statues and Supreme Court decisions, but inspires a new generation to resist the madness of governments to carve the world and our minds into their spheres of influence.”

- Howard Zinn -
