SYNOPSIS

In October 2019, the Dannenröder Forst forest (Germany) was occupied by environmental activists seeking to protect it from the construction of a new freeway. To prevent the logging, they decided to live in small communities in the forest, building houses at the top of the trees more than 30 meters high. In his documentary “Barricade – Pictures of a Forest Occupation”, director David Klammer accompanies this group of activists during their ecological struggle until the removal from the forest by police forces more than a year later. The film is a portrait of a whole young generation committed to the environment and acting in defense of a greener and more sustainable future.
