Last week I ordered, and Saturday received the 2-disc DVD "Appalachian Impressions" by Flagler Films ( http://www.flaglerfilms.com/programs.cfm ). I really enjoyed it!
By way of comparison, I already own and have also enjoyed "2000 Miles to Maine", "North to Katahdin", "Five Million Steps", "Trail Magic", and "Trek."
While I really like all of these, I think that "Appalachian Impressions", more than any of the others, is a great video to show to folks who don't already know much about the AT, yet remains entertaining for those of us who love the trail most. It follows the trail north, showing highlights as it goes. It does a good job of explaining blazes, trail magic, trail angels, LNT, etc. I enjoyed getting to see again some of the sights that I have enjoyed so far from Springer to Grayson Highlands, and also the sights to come ahead. I was also glad that this is a movie that I can show to any group. As much as I liked "2000 Miles to Maine" and "Trek", both of these had content (albeit very little) that made them inappropriate to show to Scouts and other youth groups. There was no such controversial content in "Appalachian Impressions." Congratulations to Mark Flagler and his team for making a quality product. :clap
Now, I can't hardly wait to see Lion King's "Walking with Freedom."
