About this Event
405 S Palmetto Blvd, Clemson, SC 29634
"Family Tree" explores sustainable forestry in North Carolina through the stories of two Black families fighting to preserve their land and generational legacy. Family Tree’s cinema vérité approach reveals the vast task of maintaining the land, while navigating challenging family dynamics, unscrupulous developers and changing environmental needs. The forest itself and the beauty of its changing seasons become a primary character in this drama about its own survival.
Please join us on Monday, October 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Watt Family Innovation Center auditorium for a screening of this extraordinary film. Q&A with filmmakers to follow.
