This documentary explores some of the many ways humans interact with trees, and how trees hold our stories. From logging, planting, and photographing trees to the art form of bonsai trees and the people who create them, in collaboration with nature. I know this will encourage me to take a closer look at the trees around me, and a greater appreciation of how powerful and persistent they are. The way the stories are interwoven is very artful, and they overlap in interesting way, most coming to a satisfying stopping point, others leaving the viewer with concerns and/or questions to pursue. This film is also simply beautiful, with some of the most striking scenery I've ever seen. Very memorable. Perfect title, too.
