As temperatures rise and wildfires engulf our ancient forests, from Canada to Australia, THE GIANTS is a love letter to the trees. THE GIANTS explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this poetic yet high-octane portrait of Australian environmentalist and gay activist Bob Brown who harnessed people power to take green politics from the fringes to the centre of power to fight for the last ancient forests.  This award-winning documentary features breathtaking cinematography, other-worldly animation, and thought-provoking insights by Canada’s own David Suzuki and fungi expert Merlin Sheldrake (UK).  Epic and cinematic, THE GIANTS is an urgent masterclass in activism that inspires the audience to write the next chapter.  “Bob Brown is a real hero, a role model for young people. He's certainly a role model for me.” – David Suzuki
