The Man Who Planted Trees (1987)
(L'Homme qui plantait des arbres)

"The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary sheperd who patiently plants and nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care. As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green again. A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person." -amazon.com

thank you for posting this lovely story on the internet. I saw this a couple years back during my horticulture studies in school. I have thought about it over and over since seeing it the first time and never thought to check if it was uploaded on here. This film had an impact on me that should be shared with the world. I will be honored to share this with my friends and family, and many others in the future. beautiful. thanks again.
