UNDERSTORY
Three visionaries converge on a quietly radical idea: that the natural world is not a warehouse of resources for human consumption, but a community of intelligent, feeling, interconnected beings. What does it mean to be a plant? And what does it mean to rethink ourselves?
Three visionaries — forester Suzanne Simard, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, and philosopher Paco Calvo — have spent their careers listening and learning from plants. Each paid the price for being an outsider. Together, their work converges on a single, quietly radical idea: that the natural world is not a warehouse of resources for human consumption, but a community of intelligent, feeling, interconnected beings. Could this shift in perception be the key to leading us out of the ecological crisis we face?
Exquisite in image, and patient in its rhythm, UNDERSTORY offers a new way of seeing — one that has the power to change the world and our place in it.
