“Don’t miss this special Science on Screen presentation of the acclaimed documentary, The Hidden Life of Trees, featuring an in-person introduction by Dr. Kelly Heilman, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Arizona’s Laboratory for Tree-Ring Research.

This event is co-presented by the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona.

Based on Peter Wohlleben’s international bestseller, this eye-opening, stunningly-photographed documentary explores the secret world of trees. With Wohlleben as our guide, we journey deep into vast German forests to study the ways in which trees communicate and take care of each other. Drawing on groundbreaking scientific discoveries, Wohlleben describes how trees are like human families: tree parents live together with their children, communicate with them, support them as they grow, share nutrients with those who are sick or struggling, and even warn each other of impending dangers. By mapping these hidden networks and relationships, Wohlleben gives us a better understanding of the vegetable world – and perhaps also some ideas of how to structure our own society.  After watching The Hidden Life of Trees, you’ll never look at a tree the same way again.  (Dir. by Jorg Adolph/Jan Haft, 2021, Germany, in German/Korean/English/Polish with English subtitles, 101 mins., Not Rated)
