Among Giants Analysis

All humans coexist on this planet together. However, humans could also be what destroys Earth in the end. If that happens to occur, one may wonder where we would migrate.

This film follows a man with the nickname "Farmer" and his friends as they protect the ecosystem. Of course, their conservation plan could be a little unusual to the average person.

Generally, we are quick to help people through service, but not so quick to protect the place that those people live each day: the ground we stand on and its foliage. Redwoods can live up to 1000 years, but several of them will not survive this long due to deforestation. This leaves not only the area open to damaging wind and debris, but it also leaves animals without homes. Unfortunately, it is heartbreaking to imagine that my generation could be the last to see these towering giants, but it could be a
