What does it take to plant One Million Trees by hand in Canada?
Every spring, thousands of Canadians leave the comfort of their homes to live rough in remote bush camps planting hundreds of millions of trees collectively. What does it take to plant? It is more complex than it seems, both environmentally and socially. This beautifully shot documentary explores the complex experiences that run through this unique, but common form of employment in Canada. Tree planting is a physically and emotionally demanding task, that takes planters into remote, demanding locations, and leaves them alone with their thoughts, the elements, and a lot of trees to plant. This doc delves into journeys of seasoned planters, exploring the appeal, danger, and the complex questions that surround clear cutting and the need to plant.
From award-winning storyteller Everett Bumstead.
