Australian Trailer for Documentary 'The Giants' About a Forest Activist

"He's there because he has a spiritual connection with that forest." Madman Films in Australia has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary titled The Giants, which is both a biopic about an activist + a beautiful exploration of the natural environment of forests. After premiering at the Adelaide Film Festival last year, it's set to open in Australia this April, with no other international dates confirmed yet. The Giants explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this poetic portrait of environmentalist Bob Brown and the Forest. From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob's 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania's last wild river, to today's battle for the Tarkine rain forest (see Google Maps) also found on Tasmania. Told in Bob's own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia's giant trees, bought to the screen with stunning cinematography and immersive animated forest landscapes. The hidden life of the forest is brought to life by cameras rigged high in the tree canopy. This looks like an incredibly inspiring story about a hero - we need more people like Bob. // Continue Reading ›
