Review by Victoria Angelique:
The film, EVERYDAY HEROES OF COSTA RICA, is a remarkable tribute to three amazing people that are working on conversation and restoration of the vanishing wildlife in the region. The storytelling is captivating, physically showing the work of Vernon, Tracey and Jeremy through Wild Sun rather than just telling the audience what they are doing to restore the populations of the red macaws, turtles and howler monkeys.
Most conversation films focus on the facts surrounding the species needing to be saved, coming off as preaching activism, whereas this documentary established who the people were and why others thought they were heroes. It made the film more about the people and the wildlife in a way that everyone would agree with the filmmaker. Vernon, Tracey and Jeremy are individuals with a deep passion for their conservation efforts. They are people who clearly care about the culture of Costa Rica while at the same time wanting to preserve the native wildlife.
The volunteers are people who care, inspired by the passion of the everyday heroes. These are the type of people that the world should hear more about as they bring a light to the dark world. They are leaving an amazing legacy behind by working directly with the animals and helping them adapt so that they can survive in the wild.
This documentary makes it clear what a hero is, a role model that someone wants to learn from and follow in their footsteps. Vernon, Tracey and Jeremey deserved this inspiring tribute. They truly are heroes as they work to preserve and restore the Costa Rican wildlife populations. It's a call to action film that actually makes people want to volunteer in conservation efforts.
