About This Movie
City of Trees is a stark, immersive look at the lives of three men in Washington, DC during the Great Recession. The film’s pacing is slow and deliberate, which really allows you to sit with Charles, Michael, and James as they navigate the challenges of long-term unemployment. It’s not just a documentary about economic hardship; it feels deeply personal, almost like you’re peering into their daily struggles and small victories. The atmosphere is heavy, yet there’s a glimmer of hope through their participation in 'shovel ready' green projects. The performances feel raw and authentic, showcasing the resilience of these characters. It captures a specific moment in time, weaving personal stories into a broader social context, which is what makes it distinctive.
