This is a gentle, engaging and instructive film about preserving land, preserving family and preserving ownership. Director Jennifer MacArthur pulls a viewer right into the heart of two African-American families and their day to day concerns as stewards of large tracts of forested land. Keeping their land properly is a huge undertaking with huge ramifications: forested land is key to the environment, removing carbon from the atmosphere and slowing the greenhouse effect and climate change.
