A Will for the Woods

Description

Determined that his final resting place will benefit the earth, Clark Wang—a musician, psychiatrist, and folk dancer—prepares for his own green burial while battling lymphoma. The spirited Clark and his partner Jane boldly face his mortality, embrace the planning of a spiritually meaningful funeral, and join with a compassionate local cemeterian to help save North Carolina woods from being destroyed. With poignancy and unexpected humor, this film portrays the last days of a multifaceted advocate, and one community’s role in the genesis of a revolutionary movement. As the film follows Clark’s dream of leaving a legacy in harmony with timeless cycles, environmentalism takes on a profound intimacy.
