The Wilderness Within

2022 • Directed by

Jason Van Bruggen

A requiem to the vanishing diversity of urban nature.

A realist’s assessment of the declining health of urban wilderness and our fleeting opportunity to restore it. This is the story of one man’s obsessive quest to re-wild Toronto’s ravines by bringing the offspring of ecological elders, or mother trees, back to their natural homes. It is a call to arms for nature lovers around the world.
