...SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN and RING OF BRIGHT WATER are two children's films that do not talk down to their audience. Mountain is about a Canadian lad who runs away from home to live in the wilderness, while Ring tells the story of a London accountant who adopts an otter...

Contrary to much theory about the activists' psychological motives, there seems to be little or no generational conflict within such families. Most are very close. In fact, many of the rebels first acquired their liberal ideals from their parents...
