Experiencing Interruptions?

"The Seeds of Tomorrow"

"The Seeds of Tomorrow" is more than just a documentary about reforestation. It's a love letter to nature, a manifesto of hope, and the journey of two young women who see in the Jurema Preta, Mulungu, and Catingueira trees more than mere foliage: they see life, history, and the promise of the future.

In their daring mission to plant over 10,000 native trees, Sofia and Cecília strive to reconnect their homeland with its deep-rooted origins. Yet their aspirations know no boundaries. With their gaze fixed on the horizon, they aim to weave together both national and international roots, expanding their ecological mission and forging partnerships that bridge lands and seas.
