    This is an honor for Forest Under Stress (FUS) the short-mixed media documentary to receive Honorable Mention at Cine Pobre Film Festival. FUS is a creation by a mother- daughter duo in all facets pf development to bring awareness to the declining health of our Pacific Northwest Forest resulting in loss of forest resiliency and prone to crown fires, once rare. This is especially in the state of Oregon where the mother daughter duo live. Selecting FUS continues to help people understand the forest is more than just trees.
    Kindly,
    Rachel Lee Hall-- Producer and mother of Mika Hall Bravo Ramirez.
