The Walking Forest documentary tells the story of Bosk, an extraordinary project that brought a thousand trees into Leeuwarden, forever changing the lives of its citizens. For 100 days, the city transformed into a magical moving forest, and the residents witnessed the beauty and power of nature in their own backyard. It took a lot of cooperation from many people to realise such an impossible project. This film explores the impact this unexpected oasis had on people’s lives and how collective effort can reinvigorate a city by taking steps towards a more sustainable world.
