In the Quiet and Dark is a cinematic, visceral and lyrical exploration of our last remaining Hemlock Forest told through one woman’s journey to try and save them. This tree, a stalwart foundation species, is under attack by a tiny insect – the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. This is a classic and tragic ecological David and Goliath story. If the Hemlock die off, as scientists are predicting they will within the next three years, it will be cataclysmic for our forests.
