A journey into the heart of America’s most iconic forests, GIANTS RISING is a feature length documentary that reveals the secrets and the saga of the coast redwoods — the tallest and among the oldest living beings on Earth. It’s an epic tale that immerses audiences in the awe and wonders of these trees, while exploring our ever-evolving relationship with them. Living links to the past, redwoods hold powers that may play a role in our future, including their ability to withstand fire and capture carbon, to offer clues about longevity, and even to enhance our own well-being. Through the voices of scientists, artists, Native communities and others, we discover the many connections that sustain these forests, and the promise of solutions that will help us ALL rise up to face the challenges that lay ahead.
