Five years in the making, filmed around the world, Call of The Forest is a stunningly photographed love letter to the forest. The film played to record breaking crowds in October and November. At a recent screening in California the audience was moved to tears by  how our forests are disappearing around the world. Acclaimed author and writer Diana Beresford Kroeger tours some of the last great forests in the world in Japan, Ireland and Germany and speaks out about their endangerment and what we can do about it.

 

Reviews

I was not prepared for the standing ovation we received at the end of the film. I was not prepared for the huge audience who were crying. And, I was definitely, not, in any way prepared for the warm and heartfelt hugs I received afterwards.
-DIANA BERESFORD KROEGER (Writer & activist)
