Seven forest dwellers - loggers, scientists, activists and Native Americans - invite us to discover their part of these impressive woods as the outside world and excessive logging increasingly encroach.

synopsis

Behind The Redwood Curtain takes the viewer on a mesmerising journey through the dark and eerie Redwood forest. Seven forest dwellers - loggers, scientists, activists and Native Americans - invite us to discover their part of this landscape. There are no Walmarts and Starbucks here, just small towns and big trees. The ancient Redwoods have always kept the region isolated but now that excessive logging is encroaching, the survival of this unique habitat is under threat.
Behind The Redwood Curtain nous entraîne dans un voyage à travers la sombre et merveilleuse forêt de sequoias. Sept habitants du bois – des bûcherons, des scientifiques, des activistes et des autochtones – nous montrent leur vie dans la nature. Une vie sans Walmarts ou Starbucks, mais dans des petites villes, avec de grands arbres. Les gigantesques arbres ancestraux isolent la région, mais l’industrie du bois surpuissante met ce biotope unique en danger. Avec un regard entêté, Liesbeth De Ceulaer met en image les divergences de convictions, rêves et angoisses des différents habitants du bois. Une histoire fascinante sur les relations entre les hommes et leur environnement naturel.
Behind The Redwood Curtain maakt een meeslepende tocht doorheen het duistere en wonderlijke Redwood Forest. Zeven verschillende woudbewoners - houthakkers, wetenschappers, activisten en Native Americans - tonen ons hun leven in de wildernis. Een leven zonder Walmarts of Starbucks, maar in small towns en met big trees. De immense en oeroude Redwoods isoleren de streek maar de buitensporige houtindustrie brengt de unieke biotoop in gevaar. Met een eigenzinnige blik toont Liesbeth De Ceulaer de uiteenlopende overtuigingen, dromen en angsten van de verschillende woudbewoners in een fascinerend verhaal over de relatie tussen de mens en zijn natuurlijke omgeving.
