Sinopsis
En la década de 1850, impulsada por la fiebre del oro de California, un antiguo bosque de secuoyas fue talado drásticamente para ayudar a construir San Francisco. Sin embargo, un viejo árbol quedó atrás.
Este documental de 20 minutos destaca “Old Survivor”, la única secuoya antigua que queda en las colinas de East Bay, y cuenta la historia del bosque de secuoyas resiliente, ecológicamente sorprendente y ahora protegido de Oakland.
Con la participación de Save the Redwoods League, el Distrito de Parques Regionales de East Bay y los parques de la ciudad de Oakland, la película promueve la recreación al aire libre y las redes de espacios abiertos, fomenta la administración, celebra la historia local y educa al espectador sobre la ecología de los bosques de secuoyas.
