Ernesto Diezmartinez Cine Vértigo It is a well-known story, but Díaz and Osban present it to us with respect, empathy and even admiration. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Alejandro Turdó Hoy Sale Cine A Thousand Pines reflects on the harsh working conditions of what some may consider an excruciating job while uncovering the intricacies of a six decades old industry suspected of continuously doing businesses on the edge of legality. Rated: 9/10 Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome There isn’t a documentary like A Thousand Pines that shows the realities of the lives of these workers, and the message is as urgent as ever.

Russell S I loved this film. I knew nothing about reforestation or these guest workers before stumbling upon this, and wow, what a fascinating world. I really appreciated the intimacy of the footage. I was so engrossed by the time it ended, I was surprised 75 minutes had gone by. If you're interested in things about immigration or the environment, I highly recommend it.
