Giants Rising - Film Screening - Santa Cruz

Despite humans exploring the world for eons, much remains to learn. The giant redwood trees on the East Coast are one such area. The redwoods are over 3,000 years old, and the documentary *Giants Rising* discusses uncovered mysteries and newly discovered information about the ecosystem, including our relationship with the forest and the dangers and challenges of preserving it. Compelled to make the documentary by her deep connection with the forest, director Lisa Landers will hold an onstage discussion after the screening of *Giants Rising.* Attend the screening and learn how the trees can communicate not only with each other but also with us and the rest of their environment. -Isabella Marie Sangaline, Good Times Santa Cruz
