Forest for the Trees Storyline

Award-winning war photographer Rita Leistner goes back to her roots as a tree planter in the wilderness of British Columbia, offering an inside take on the grueling, sometimes fun and always life-changing experience of restoring Canada’s forests. Leistner, who has photographed some of the world’s most dangerous places, credits the challenge of tree-planting for her physical and mental endurance. In Forest for the Trees, her first feature film, she revisits her past to share the lessons she learned. The film introduces us to everyday life on the “cut-block” and the brave souls who fight through rough terrains and work endless hours to bring our forests to life. The rugged BC landscape comes to life magically in Leistner’s photography, while the quirky characters and nuggets of wisdom shared around the campfire tell a sincere story of community.—Melissa James

Forest for the Trees Movie Reviews

Fabulous Documentary.

Rita Leistner’s new treeplanting documentary, Forest For The Trees is a phenomenal piece of film making, destined to become compulsory viewing for anyone interested in the brutal yet magical job. The in-depth interviews of Planters’ everyday lives and Leistner’s own veteran experience provide a precise representation of the intense treeplanting world. The visuals are mindblowing and the soundtrack is completely amazeballs. I give it a 10 out of 10.

Oh so Canadian…yet universal

Much of what people get concerned about regarding the environment has to do with the cutting down of trees. This film explores the aftermath; the sub-culture of the tree planter. In a masterfully presented, excellently filmed series of personal profiles and sweeping scenic tours, the two hours fly by in a wonder of humans-in-nature agony and ecstasy.

As a former forest industry mill worker (got me through university!) I have nothing but awed admiration for these brave folk, who fight isolation, insects, steep hillsides, spare living circumstances and constant fatigue in order to earn a living and renew the forests. In its portrayal of ecological renewal, Forest for the Trees stands as a song of British Columbia and a tribute to the spirit of Canadians.
