AI restored, Grey Owl's Strange Guests (1936 documentary) 

This video was restored using Topaz Video AI. The conservationist known as Grey Owl was born Archibald Belaney in Hastings, England. As a young man, he migrated to Canada and adopted the ways of the First Nations people. He spoke out early and strongly about preserving nature and the environment. His insight is informing the modern movement of rewilding and using nature-based solutions to prevent flooding. He hid his non-native background and it wasn’t until later in his life that the public learned the truth. His reputation and credibility were damaged, but his message persevered and he is hailed today as a man ahead of his time. In 1999, Sir Richard Attenborough directed the film “Grey Owl,” starring Pierce Brosnan. A Canadian cameo 1936 production produced by special arrangement with the national parks of Canada.
