The Man Who Planted Trees

The Man Who Planted Trees (1987)
(L'Homme qui plantait des arbres)

Link to "The Man Who Planted Trees" (1987)

"The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary sheperd who patiently plants and nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care. As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green again. A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person." 30:08 minutes

Enjoy
