🎥🍿Well Done, Sebastian Diaz Aguirre 👏👏
This weekend I was lucky to go to a live screening of a friend’s new documentary *A Thousand Pines*.
Following migrant workers through the seasons during their back-breaking task of planting 1000 trees or more each day, this film takes a humanistic view of the beginning of the supply chain for paper products. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲📝
Interestingly, the main big corporation owners of today they work for were once tree planters themselves—but this was in their escape from the mainstream to form a hippie counterculture of migrant camps.
The inherent conflict of counterculture ideals in those who are now big business owners is a situation we see often in the herbal business.✌️🤑
This, especially as the world has shifted to large monocultural agriculture and a very different labor market, contrasts some of the big changes we have experienced in the past few decades.
While thoroughly enjoying getting to know something about other people’s lives, this movie leaves much to reflect upon…
It is available to watch for a short time for free on PBS: https://lnkd.in/gaHGAbuE
