What trees are saying

PREMIERE
Film title: Stay a while

OTHER STORY PRESENTS – What are trees communicating? As a part of Other Story’s exploration of the ‘other than human’, the documentary project traveled to Oslo, Norway, to sit down with TED global speaker Per Espen Stoknes. Stoknes has since he was 19 years old, been able to communicate with trees. Today Per is an internationally acclaimed author, writing from his capacity as psychologist, he researches the human reaction patterns to the climate crisis. In this new short documentary, hear what trees are expressing to Stoknes and get mind tools to deal with climate depression; what Stoknes calls the ‘Great Grief’.

ABOUT 
Central to Other Story’s work is the belief that stories matter. Stories shape the way we know our world, each other and ourselves. It is time to tell new stories. In this time when it is crucial that we change our habits and ways of inhabiting the world, Other Story seeks to encourage this process by sharing the stories of ordinary people, channel the ‘other than human’ and the change-makers fighting for humanity and for the planet.
