The Man Who Planted Trees [VHS]

Descripción

Heralded as a masterpiece of animated art, this timeless film tells the inspirational story of a solitary shepherd 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 shepherd 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. The author, Jean Giono, created the story "to make people love the tree, or more precisely, to make them love planting trees," and to pay homage to an unselfish individual who leaves a positive mark on our planet.
