A thrill-seeking explorer wants to find and climb the biggest tree in Canada outside a logging community on the brink of collapse. HUNTING GIANTS follows the struggles of a formerly prosperous town of Port Renfrew, British Columbia. This 24-min documentary is told through the point-of-view of the residents, the local indigenous community, and a group of big tree climbers. This cinematic adventure into the old-growth rainforests of British Columbia explores a question faced by resource communities around the world: extract profit until there’s nothing left or balance resource development with eco-tourism in pursuit of a more sustainable future?
