FORESTS OF HOPE - TV Documentary Series
(3 x 43 minutes)

Development: Christian Küchli and Werner Schweizer.
Produced by Dschoint Ventschr (Switzerland).

Each part of this series deals with its own topic, yet each film has a binding thread that combines one film to another, showing the destinies of trees and forests: the world of plants (flora) differs from region to region, however, the people always struggle with the same issues. They are torn between their individual short term goals and the long term needs of their communities, between quick profits and lasting revenues.

“Forests of Hope” is based on the book with the same name by international forest expert and publicist Christian Küchli. It consists of 12 chapters. For this TV Documentary Series 3 countries from 3 continents were chosen to start with: EDUADOR, KENIA and INDONESIA.

Should the first three documentaries generate further interest from additional TV-stations, then the following documentaries could be developed together with the producer:
· CHINA – Millions of people plant the Great Green Wall
· GERMANY – Forest farmers in the Black Forest
· INDIA – Solving problems for Shivas curls
· USA – Tree monster in Los Angeles
