Independent Lens

A Thousand Pines

By Noam Osband and Sebastián Díaz. A co-production of A Thousand Pines Film LLC, Latino Public Broadcasting, and the Independent Television Service (ITVS).

Over the course of a grueling eight months, a crew of Oaxacan guest workers plant trees throughout the United States. This intimate portrait shows how hard it is to balance the physical demands of reforestation and extreme isolation while staying connected to the family back home.
