rom the makers of Freeman (ABC, 2020), The Giants explores the intertwined fates of trees and humans in this cinematic portrait of environmental folk hero and gay icon Bob Brown who took green politics to the centre of power. 

From a seedling to forest elder: the film is a masterclass that draws on Bob’s 50 years of inspiring activism, from the Franklin campaign for Tasmania’s last wild river, to today’s battle for the Tarkine rainforest.

Told in Bob’s own words, his story is interwoven with the extraordinary life cycle of Australia’s giant trees, brought to the screen with stunning cinematography and breathtaking forest animations.

Sublime. Few documentaries or biopics have captivated me as much as this one.

Inspiring and beautiful. The Giants is beautifully balanced, ruminative and rousing.
