Hollow Tree

“The only cypresses you’ll see are old and hollow, because they aren’t usable for logging anymore and they could’ve survived only like this.” Three young women discover the history and future of their flooded home in Louisiana. The trio learn about the flood control system, the oil industry, and their disappearing home from engineers, activists, and natives. Each sees the issue from a perspective based on their own roots and social position in the American South. In the end, a question is left: “Why are we making peace with this?” (Academia Film Olomouc)
