Forest Garden
Håpets skog
The film tells the story of the ecologist Ranil Senanayake, and his analogous tropical forest in the hill country of Sri Lanka. In stark contrast the film brings the viewer to the horrifying reality of the planted monoculture pinus and eucalyptus forests. Population pressure and shortage of land, deforestation and analogous forestry, monocultures and biodiversity, policymaking for short term profit and comittment to saving the nature and hence the future are all elements/key words of this story. "Forest Garden" is a film that not only focuses on a severe problem in the tropics, but also on a positive answer and a hope that has to be conveyed to the world.
