“The Sentience of Trees”

Documentary film maker and explorer

Bruce is currently touring the UK with the release of his new film TAWAI: A Voice from the Forest.  After his BBC2 series Tribe he is known for his support of tribes in far remote areas through Survival International.  His talk is titled The Sentience of Trees in which he will be showing documentary footage of human communication with Trees.  We are very excited about this.  Bruce will also be answering questions on his new film and experiences working with trees, plants and people in the great forests of the world.

The Film

TAWAI is the word the nomadic hunter gatherers of Borneo use to describe their inner feeling of connection to nature. In this dreamy, philosophical and sociological look at life, explorer Bruce Parry travels the world to learn from people living lives very different to our own. From the jungles of Malaysia to the tributaries of the Amazon, TAWAI is a quest for reconnection, providing a powerful voice from the heart of the forest itself.
