Program 1: Environmental Action – 95 min

Suitable for high-school students

From Montreal to Vancouver, with stops in Toronto, Laval, Varennes and New Westminster, this delightful documentary takes viewers on an inspiring journey to discover citizen initiatives that bring nature back into cities.

You’ll see trees growing in unexpected places, neighbourhoods transformed and, most importantly, people—young and young-at-heart, francophones and anglophones alike—rolling up their sleeves to green their cities.

Forêts urbaines (Urban Forests) is much more than a film. It’s a vibrant portrait of a grassroots environmental movement, an antidote to pessimism, a breath of fresh air, and evidence that change isn’t just possible: it’s already happening.

Maybe the solution to our climate challenges is actually well within our grasp.
