The fact that China is there...wtf. They are responsible for 29% of global emissions. Has Biden done anything to stop that? One of the worlds biggest carbon sinks gone to people who eat dogs?

Great documentary. I’m wondering though if you have a solution for where the workers will work after the logging stops. You say its a simple solution just to stop logging these old forests almost as if these logs are getting shipped away and discarded once they reach their destination. Also you said that it costs tax payers money and we get nothing in return but that is not true. Jobs are provided, taxes taken off the workers wages, and we are able to build things within our country like hospitals and schools, etc. etc not to mention all the spin offs that create work for other people… Without the work and without the logging none of that could exist. I would say we probably don’t charge enough royalties though. It would certainly help if these big companies weren’t so greedy. What if these logging companies did selective logging vs clear cutting then reclaimed and replanted all the logging roads?

You lost at me [cutting down the Tongass trees, floods in Asia, Katrina, yada yada] simply not true. Unless someone can specifically draw a clear line from forest clear-cutting to hurricane strength, it is simply a false claim. As an environmental (scientist) system manager, part of what I do is work with foresters. You are correct that replanting forest (plantations) are simply that, plantations. Not much life understory or midstory is happening. Unfortunately for some, a healthy forest look has old growth trees with grandma trees (wildfire fuel) providing food for the young sprouts. In the event of a wildfire, a forest with a lack of fire frequency, due to suppression, will have a more devastating and lasting damage than what the logging industry has done. Ok. Nuff said, back to the movie.

Question the filming of this is this native land or federal ? If it's native we have no say after living in Alaska for fortyfive years there is very little logging on Federal land some but not as much as in the seventie or eighties

As humans, we think of ourselves as the smartest species, but how smart are we really when we are continually destroying the resources we need to live just so some rich men can grow richer. How smart are we to continue our destructive ways while the climate and biodiversity crisis continually slap us in the face, a little harder every time, and we just close our eyes and pretend it's not there.

This documentary captures the beauty of the Pacific Crest Trail with stunning visuals and a mix of dynamic and serene shots. While the narrator's tone is somewhat monotone, it remains a captivating hiking film.

Not as worried about the logging as I am about the idiots who are selling raw logs to other countries. The U.S. needs to mill the timber & sell timber products. It is making far less selling the raw logs than it would selling the timber products since there are over 200 different products made from wood. Those huge ships have full lumber mills on them & by the time that ship docks in Hong Kong, those logs will be milled lumber. In any logging contract there should ALWAYS be a section making it mandatory for the timber company or in this case the government to pay to have the logged areas replant within a certain number of years. Enjoyed the film. Interesting perspective.

Opinions from commercial fisher people who are destroying the life in the ocean. The trees grow back. The fish are gone. No kings, few halibut who are smaller and smaller every year. Growing humpies and chum. Ridiculous. It’s dead of point colpoys, the bottom is wrecked, yet the trees are still growing back every day. The areas that were clear cut when I was in grade school are dense with trees today. This entire bit is pur bs propaganda. Commercial fishing is the number one negative impact to southeast Ak. You should be ashamed.

"Who decides that this forest is worth so little". Greedy business people like Trump, a favour for someone in exchange for something else. And that's how we are losing the last of the great forests.

I have watched this video with greatest interest. I love Alaska, I love every single tree because the planet's and my own desparately depend on it. I am a member of an international organisation to support nature and flora and fauna, and I have helped to plant trees in compensation of the losses the world experiences. Please, please, alert mankind to what happens to our environment, and it needs to hoped - if not expected -that one day we will re-awaken to a somewhat more profitable attitude towards those who have been working for us - the planet with its silent creatures, trees, just to name some

Thank you Colin and Elsa and everyone else involved. Beautiful sad story and thanks for caring and sharing. Just reading "The Overstory" by Richard Powers at the same time I watched your film and so I wondered about how the titles relate to each other or what's the story behind your choice for the title "Understory". "A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees." (William Blake - The Golden Spruce by John Vaillant) Thanks and Kia Kaha from New Zealand :) Hope to visit you and your forests one day to see them :)
