A Forest’s Cry Short Documentary Film 2025

A Forest’s Cry is a poetic observational documentary set in Ngong Forest, capturing a
young woman as she cleans up litter, plants a sapling, and reflects on her connection to
the environment. The film begins with her already at work, gathering trash in silence as
birdsong and wind thread through the forest canopy. Through a calm, grounded voiceover,
drawn from an interview layered with natural ambient sounds, she reveals how her involvement
with Greenpeace inspired her to take this personal action.
There’s no dramatic confrontation, no public spectacle, only a quiet determination to restore
what was once disregarded. We witness her planting a sapling and journaling, leaving behind
not only cleaner trails, but a personal legacy of care. She walks out of frame, the bag of
collected waste slung on her back.
