Co-presented with the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art Screening includes a LIVE filmmaker Q&amp;A. NOTE: the film itself will not be broadcast live. It's meant to be watched separately from the discussion. ﻿Screening only available to viewers in the United States and its territories.

A poetic and personal film about plants and the people who care for them. Through the tale of the migrating rhododendron—now endangered in its native China—the film reveals how high the stakes are for all living organisms in this time of unprecedented destruction of the natural world. Beginning in the Scottish Highlands in the garden of the filmmaker's godfather, the film travels between conservationists in China and Scotland who have devoted their lives to the rhododendron’s survival. Patiently observed footage of conservationists at work combines with centuries-old landscape paintings and the filmmaker’s speculative voice to create a thought-provoking film about human efforts to protect nature for and from ourselves.
