Forest City: A Documentary Film

About This Movie

So, here's this film, 'Forest City: A Documentary Film.' It's got that raw, personal touch—Caroline Nolan, from her 12th-floor condo, just watching a six-acre forest get wiped out. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative, as she dives into urban forest issues while untangling her family's connections to the land. The atmosphere's heavy, you can really feel the weight of loss, both environmental and personal. It's distinct for how it melds personal narrative with broader themes of urbanization. The visuals are striking too; clear-cutting shots juxtaposed with reflections on family. Makes you think about the spaces we inhabit and what we're losing in the name of progress. Worth a look if you’re into environmental docs with a personal angle.
