The Giants (1 hr 50 mins) 2023
The Giants is a poetic portrait of environmentalist Bob Brown's 50-year activism, from Tasmania's last wild river to the Tarkine rain forest, showcasing his life cycle and the extraordinary life cycle of Australia's giant trees.
The Giants explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in a poetic portrait of environmentalist Bob Brown and the forest. From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob's 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania's last wild river, to today's battle for the Tarkine rainforest. Told in Bob's own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia's giant trees, bought to the screen with stunning cinematography and immersive animated forest landscapes.
