BURY ME IN REDWOOD COUNTRY
“A film of startling craftsmanship and design . . . . A meditative yet thrilling film that lets the trees, and a few select aficionados, tell their own story.”
About
Directed by Benjamin Greené and Benj Cameron
62 minutes
Bury Me in Redwood Country is a portrait of the tallest and largest trees on the planet — Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoiadendron giganteum. Filmed as an act of reverence, Bury Me quietly mirrors the Redwood landscape in deep time.
Featuring canopy scientist Stephen Sillett, Yurok Elder Ada Charles Bates, the co-discoverers of the tallest trees Michael Taylor and Chris Atkins, and the everlasting Sequoia.
