One of the greatest innovations of humankind was the creation of record keeping, and with it came a record of history for future generations to learn from. But what if civilization could see human history through the lens of something that lived through it, like a tree. The immersive and spectacular short film, Die Atomic Tree, tries to do just that. It tells the story of the 400 year old bonsai tree that survived the nuclear blast at Hiroshima. The film takes us on a journey from the tree’s origins in the ancient cedar forests of Japan to the Buddhist temples, finally ending with its home in Hiroshima tended with familial tradition and care. Throughout this process, viewers are shown the unbelievable life this tree lived, and the care that went into its life. The tree is a representation of the familial strings that never truly die, as well as the deep bond and respect humans have with nature.

From directors Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, Die Atomic Tree was curated for Planet Classroom Network by the Global Oneness Project. Die beiden Regisseure mischen eine wunderschöne Geschichte mit großartiger Kinematografie, um ihre Geschichte über das Leben des Bonsai-Baums zu erzählen. Die visuell anregenden Effekte des Films vermitteln dem Zuschauer das Gefühl, in die Vergangenheit zurückversetzt zu werden, und die Nachrichten werden fest zugestellt, eine wirkungsvolle Aussage machen.

Dieser Kurzfilm hat eine starke Regie und Storytelling, Das macht es zu einer sehr unterhaltsamen Uhr, die die meisten Zuschauer noch lange nach der Vorführung darüber nachdenken lässt. Imagine the stories this tree could tell if it could communicate, but even without that, it serves as a living testament to humankind and our relationship with the world around us. I think this is a fantastic film for the audiences at Planet Classroom, so I highly recommend it. Ich gebe diesen Film 5 von 5 Sterne.
