Hubby and wife date afternoon documentary with 'The Hidden life of Trees'. With excitement like this who needs action thrillers?! This is a wonderful and tidy and informative doc on how trees survive, communicate and thrive in a world less and less welcoming. Perfect for a High School classroom and great for adults who may need a reminder what our nature is becoming. It's not preachy and it's fact based. A very necessary and beautiful film. Hubby: 8.1/Wife 7.9 Average: 8/10

ROOTS If a tree falls in a forest

ROOTS If a tree falls in a forest, does it hurt? Peter Wohlleben would like a word, or several thousand. "The Hidden Life of Trees" follows the maverick tree hugger around as he tries to make the case for a complex, communicating community of wood. Based on his best selling book of the same name, the documentary brings the lanky German to life as a media savvy eco-warrior with some astounding propositions. Dispelling some startling myths like our misguided attempt to reseed the forest instead of letting nature do all the work, is chief to the power of this film. The composting, self-fertilizing nature of rotting trees, and the connection with the entire ecosystem is an eye-opener. Wohlleben gets a little carried away though, whimsically portraying trees as sentient beings capable of high level communication. Yes there is some kind of interplay here in nature's wonderland, which humans are probably best to leave the damn alone, but social advances by trees like making agreements with fungi, would be better served with less magical wonder and more actual science. The movie works best when presenting clinical facts with beautiful cinematography, aiming at the just the right balance of eco awareness, eco dread, and possible eco solutions. Trees do appear to be more complex than anyone ever imagined and their existence is chief to our own, so a better understanding of what the heck is going on in the woods is probably a pretty good idea. Wohlleben comes across as a lone wolf advocate, which sadly, is the case for many an important cause. This doc just might change all that. - hipCRANK

Unglaublich gut

We can't recommend this film any more. Not just for tree huggers, but an enlightening film for all!!!! Very educational and entertaining. A great confirmation of respecting nature and learning what to do and what not to do. A nicely made film with excellent subtitles for those who don't know how to speak German!!
