AMONG GIANTS
ABOUT
As clear-cutting continues to ravage California's coastal redwood region, Farmer, an environmental activist, decides to tree sit to defend the McKay Tract. A hundred feet up in the ancient redwood canopy, risking injury and incarceration, Farmer must battle the elements and avoid isolation as he fights for a sustainable future. The film questions what it means to make personal sacrifices for a larger cause, and how a single person can create lasting change in the world.
