A Thousand Pines, the documentary is directed and produced by Sebastián Díaz and Noam Osband, follows a season of Oaxacan tree planters traveling the United States and explores the hidden world of guest workers regrowing America’s forests and the challenges the workers and their families face.
A solid documentary. And so bittersweet for these workers and families. Yet we have some people who just don’t get how important they are to us, especially our economy.
The award-winning documentary film debuts on PBS’s INDEPENDENT LENS on April 1, at 10p. ET (check local listings). The film will also be available to stream on the PBS App.
Lost Angel: The Genius oF Judee Sill, a very interesting documentary, directed by Andy Brown and Brian Lindstrom.
Synopsis: The never-before-told story of folk-rock icon Judee Sill, who in just two years went from living in a car to appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone. The documentary charts her troubled adolescence through her meteoric rise in the music world and early tragic death.
In many ways, she was ahead of her time. In theaters and on Amazon and Apple TV on April 12.
