AST Presents: Giants Rising

In this film we meet passionate people dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the redwoods and protecting their future. This includes a scientific detective uncovering the secrets of redwood resilience, members of the Yurok Tribe fighting to restore their cultural connections to these forests, a park manager summoning new life from ravaged timberlands, and a modern-day Ansel Adams who’s attempting to display a life-size photograph of a 310-foot redwood— a portrait she hopes will rekindle our connection to these ambassadors from another time.
