Description: As part of the International Year of the Forest, Look East Wild Earth have organised for this eye-opening documentary to be shown at the wonderful Green Lens Studio in Haringey on 8th December.

A fifth of the world's forest cover exists in Russia, and is under acute threat from illegal logging. Bravely taking us through his working days, former forestry worker turned illegal timber hauler Vasiliy Morozov exposes just how widespread corruption in the forest sector is, how it undermines legislation, and enables the decimation huge swathes of old growth boreal forest with the perpetrators going largely unpunished.The film follows the entire supply chain - from the forest to a processing plant in China - and will give you a glimpse into what is happening to the trees of Russia's boreal forests, forests not inaccurately called one of the earth's lungs.

We invite you to join us in marking the international year of the forest for an evening of film, spoken word and cups of SiberianForest Tea. Join us in learning about the plight of the Siberianboreal forest. This "evening in the forests" is part of a European-wide project with activities taking place in Czech Republic, Albania, Finland, Russia and Portugal, and we at Look East Wild Earth would be honoured for you to attend the UK's offering.
