Planter à tout prix
Never before have so many trees been planted on the Earth's surface. In this documentary, François-Xavier Drouet weaves together scientific explanations and firsthand accounts to reveal the truths hidden behind a slogan that is too consensual to be honest.
An Interview with Director François-Xavier Drouet About His Film *PLANTER A TOUT PRIX*: Trees to Save the Planet?
Never before have so many trees been planted across the Earth’s surface. In this documentary, François-Xavier Drouet weaves together scientific explanations and firsthand accounts to expose the truths hidden behind a slogan that’s too consensual to be honest. Featuring images that are at times breathtaking—such as aerial views of rows of eucalyptus trees stretching as far as the eye can see, filmed across three continents— Limousin, southern Portugal, the Cerrado savanna and the dying forest of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil, the Batéké plateaus in the Congo, the Galician hinterland in Spain—he dismantles the arguments for a false solution, one that primarily allows a predatory economic model to perpetuate itself.
