In the American South, Black forest landowners fight to maintain their family legacy and create sustainable forests for generations to come.

Family Tree explores sustainable forestry in North Carolina through the stories of two Black families fighting to preserve their land and legacy. Family Tree's cinéma vérité approach reveals the vast task of maintaining the land while navigating challenging family dynamics, unscrupulous developers, and changing environmental needs. The forest itself and the beauty of its changing seasons become a primary character in this family drama.

Free tickets are available at https://warrenpl.hometownticketing.com/embed/event/248. After the screening, a Q&A with the director of the film, Jennifer MacArthur, will be offered.
