In the world’s last great Northern temperate rainforests, communities rise to protect what remains—and to restore what was lost.
Amid remnants of ancient temperate rainforests, modern-day champions fight to protect and restore some of the rarest ecosystems on Earth. These forests cover less than one percent of the planet’s surface, yet can store more carbon per acre than the Amazon, making them crucial in the fight against climate change.
Roots of Resilience is an urgent feature-length documentary film in production, led by award-winning Director Jessica Plumb, with nonprofit fiscal sponsorship from Women Make Movies in New York City.
