The Tree of Authenticity

TIFF Lightbox 4
Friday, May 2, 2025 5:30 PM
Imaginatively constructed, this cinematic essay looks into the soul of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s forests to expose the repercussions of the country’s colonial past. A stunning ode to nature, the film is above all a warning about human greed.
