How do people begin to heal? How does the land begin to heal? Discover how a community answered those questions in the wake of 9/11

Description

As the community began to plan and build a memorial, they focused on remembrance and growth. Trees, they thought, would help the people root to the past but grow towards the light. And every year people planted.

Discover the inspirational story of the programme (Plant a Tree at Flight 93) that restored the strip-mined land surrounding the national memorial in the years following 9/11. Through lyrical prose and lush art, 150,000 Trees illuminates the hope and empathy of the American people and shows the power of individuals to make a difference.

Releasing in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11
