The Man Who Planted Trees

This movie, while only a story, struck a chord with me after the Tathra Fires, I hope it does it will with you. Here is some information on the film.
It tells the story of one shepherd’s long and successful singlehanded effort to re-forest a desolate valley in the foothills of the Alps near Provence throughout the first half of the 20th century. — Wikipedia.
