A Forest's Dream
In the deep interiors of New Zealand, is a forest. A sacred land where the native flora and fauna of the land has found their last refuge.
A Forest's Dream tells a beautifully cinematic tale of Fiordland from the perspective of its residents - a wise old tree, the bedrock that forms its foundation and the water that shapes it.
