The Ancient Forest
Directed by
A family is quietly at home when suddenly chainsaws and bulldozers come crashing through the walls, destroying everything. The contrast between the family's shock and the contemplative images of lush ancient forests, whose surface areas have been depleted to 20% of their original expansion, serves as a denouncement of the worldwide devastation responsible for destroying an area of forest the size of a soccer field every two seconds. With the ravaging of the world's forests, many species find themselves with no place to live, brutalized just as harshly as the quiet family in the beginning of the film. The Ancient Forest was commissioned by Greenpeace.

Endangered by human actions, the diversity of species is crucial to the harmony of the interconnected ecosystems we inhabit: the implications of its loss and why this issue affects more than just those that go extinct.
