The Giants Overview

THE GIANTS explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this poetic yet high-octane portrait of Australian environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who harnessed people power to take green politics from the fringes to the centre of power. From a seedling to forest elder, THE GIANTS interweaves Bob’s extraordinary story with the life cycle of the ancient trees he is fighting for. The hidden life of the forest is brought to screen with epic vision from cameras rigged high in the tree canopy; immersive point cloud animation generated from 3D tree scans; and thought-provoking insights by the likes of David Suzuki and Merlin Sheldrake. Epic and cinematic, THE GIANTS is a masterclass in activism that ignites an urgent conversation about the right of the Forest to exist and challenges the audience to write the next chapter.
