“A documentary about English conservationist Richard St Barbe Baker. ‘St Barbe’ (here aged 92) is interviewed at a South Island station where he presciently warns of desertification and laments the earth being “skinned alive”. The visionary tree-planting advocate founded the organisation Men of the Trees (now the International Tree Foundation) to promote reforestation and protect trees, from 5000-year-old bristlecone pines to giant kauri. Directed by acclaimed cinematographer Leon Narbey, the film includes the inspiring St Barbe’s tree-hugging exercise regime: two minutes morning and night.”
