Based on Peter Wohlleben’s 2015 international best-seller “The Hidden Life of Trees,” in the documentary of the same name, the crucial centrality of trees in Earth’s ecosystem is explored. A forester by training, Wohlleben resigned from his job when he saw the damage wrought by the cycles of clear-cut and single species cultivation in his native Germany.

Directors: Jörg Adolph and Jan Haft

Time: 96 minutes

Language: German; Turkish and English subtitles

How trees pass wisdom down to the next generation through their seeds, what makes them live so long, and how forests handle immigrants are some of the topics Wohlleben delves into to decipher the signals that plants send to each other.
