The film gives a voice to the people who have been involved in the disappearance and the future of this forest, from the Polish government to lawyers of Client Earth as well as the European Commission. Ultimately, it brings into view what the death of a living organism means.
Reviews
Very well executed
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
