In the US South, Black forest landowners fight to preserve their land and legacy and create sustainable forests for generations to come. FAMILY TREE spotlights two Black families in North Carolina cultivating a dream of restorative abundance. Debut Director Jennifer MacArthur's cinéma vérité approach reveals the vast task of maintaining the land while navigating challenging family dynamics, unscrupulous developers, and changing environmental needs. The forest itself and the beauty of its changing seasons become a primary character in this family drama.
