L’Arbre de l’Authenticité

A film about Yangambi, a biological research station from the Belgian colonial era, where scientific records about the nature of the Congo Basin are found. They show, among other things, how trees respond to climate change. The Congolese rainforests play a central role in the global climate balance. Carried by a poetic text and an immersive soundscape, at the end of the film Lileko, the tree of authenticity, whispers: “My children will be workers in a new climate economy.”
