Vivien Cumming and John Davies, Earthrise Studio, Alliance for Scotland’s Rainforest


Told from the perspective of indigenous activist Narubia Werreria, ‘The Ghost Rainforest’ follows a group of five indigenous leaders and activists from the Amazon, making an emotionally charged and once in a lifetime journey to a little known and desperately rare temperate rainforest habitat in Scotland. The visit is set amidst the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, a moment in history the world needed to listen to them, as ‘guardians of the forests’, but instead left them feeling ignored and sidelined. The film focuses on the importance of indigenous wisdom to reconnect to these habitats before it’s too late.
