Toorbos (South Africa) – Jan 29, 3pm UK time

Toorbos explores the uprooting of a stubborn young forest woman and her community during the time of the last forest inhabitants of South Africa's Knysna forest, in the 1930's. As Karoliena is whisked away to marry a dapper townsman, she strenuously tries to defend her own freedom and nature, against the destruction of her environment.

A tale about the power of love, the importance of the feminine and overcoming our destructive relationship with nature.
