Language: English (minimal Yurok)
GIANTS RISING takes you on an unparalleled adventure through the towering majesty of California’s redwood forests, crafting a narrative that’s rich and as deep as the woods it explores.The film stands out in the documentary genre, breaking the mold with its heartfelt homage to these ancient sentinels […] The blend of scientific exploration and emotional, artistic depth paints a vivid picture of the redwoods, positioning them as natural marvels and central figures in our environmental dialogue.”
A journey into the heart of America’s most iconic forests, GIANTS RISING explores the secrets, superpowers and saga of the redwoods— the tallest and some of the oldest living beings on Earth. It’s an epic tale that reveals the wonders of these majestic trees and our dramatic, ever-evolving relationship with them.
Living links to the past, redwoods also hold powers that may play a role in our future, including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon, to offer clues about resilience, and even to enhance our own well-being. Through the voices of biologists, artists, Native communities and others, we discover the redwoods’ scientific marvels and our deep cultural ties to them.
It’s a story that offers insights about the value of our interconnections, and the promise of solutions that will help us ALL rise up to face the challenges that lay ahead.
