Stories taking root.
A feature documentary and a new play — each in active development, each carried with the same care, consent, and collaboration as everything Poet Tree Pictures makes.
Natura
Natura is a poetic immersion into the emotional terrain of the climate crisis, told through four women across four continents: a Sámi forest guardian, a California fire ecologist, a Kofán warrior of the Amazon, and a Lagos-based climate organizer. They tend, heal, defend, and gather, doing the matriarchal work of keeping the world alive.
Woven from intimate vérité, archive, and conversations that echo across cultures, the film holds two timeframes at once: the deep, ongoing relationship between the feminine and the earth, and the urgent question of what it means to mother — children, communities, ecosystems — in an age of burning.
Far From the Good Place
A filmmaker documenting a trial that promises to cure the disease attacking one in ten women’s bodies, meets a patient who could be her double — same wounds, same unreachable memory — and the film she was hired to make becomes the one thing standing between them and the truth they share.
