Synopsis

Can trees communicate with each other? German forester and bestselling author Peter Wohlleben and Canadian forest scientist Suzanne Simard have discovered that trees are individual beings that have feelings, know friendship, have a common language and look after each other. This documentary explores the various ways that trees communicate with each other and bridges the gap between observations of a forester and scientific research. It also explores how this knowledge could influence our relationship to the forest.
