Back to the Forest
A micro documentary
commissioned by
4814 Trust
We were commissioned by charitable trust, 4814 to create a micro documentary about an inspiring charity they have supported called A Thousand Year Trust. A Thousand Year Trust is dedicated to restoring the UK's native Atlantic temperate rainforests which used to stretch right down the west of the UK, from Scotland to Cornwall. Unfortunately, little of this habitat remains, but Merlin from TYT is keen to see it restored.
The Story
Managing director of TYT, Merlin Hanbury-Tenison started the charity and his efforts to restore the UK's rainforests after he realised that spending time in the forest had helped him to heal his complex PTSD following his time in the army.
The film tells this story and highlights the enduring relevance of our natural world. We are not separate from nature; it is where we belong.
