Fools & Dreamers is a 30-minute documentary about Hinewai Nature Reserve in New Zealand, where botanist Hugh Wilson let gorse grow as a nurse canopy to regenerate native forest. It shows the results after 30 years and the local skepticism he faced.
Why HN recommends it: Shared in climate and land-use threads as a vivid example of how letting land regrow can restore forest.
