The Man Who Planted Trees

I would like to share this with you. It is often said that with small, daily efforts, one person can change the world. I do not think this has ever been illustrated as succinctly, or as beautifully as the story, The Man Who Planted Trees, by Jean Giono.

In 1987, Frédéric Back, with Radio-Canada, made an animated film from this book, narrated by Christopher Plummer. It won an Academy Award that year.

Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, I’d like to share this story with you. It is in three parts, and runs about 30 minutes in total.
