Grandma's Eternal Forest
Babiččin věčný les
At age 87, Grandma Kuniko Shiiba is the only person in Japan who continues to practice a traditional and sustainable form of slash-and-burn agriculture. We spend a year in the forest with her, learning through her eyes and the eyes of a snail, of edible and medicinal plants, mountain and fire spirits, crop cultivation, and the forest’s unique regenerative powers.
