Once Upon a Time in a Forest (”Havumetsän lapset”) is an award winning Finnish documentary film directed by Virpi Suutari (2024). The documentary tells the story of about the Finnish forest industry and the protection of forests, following young activists for over a year. The environmental activists featured in the film defend some of Europe’s last remaining old growth forests. They face opposition from the Finnish forest industry and the Finnish national ideology that forests are the foundation of economic prosperity. This humane story takes viewers on an enchanting journey into the beauty of forests, but also confronts the viewers with its despair.
