Vertical Money (2024)

Original title: Vara küps

Where have the Estonian forests gone?

Documentary Duration 86:00

Vertical Money

The documentary is a nature catastrophe film that made scandalous news even before it’s release in Estonia. Shot in more than 60 different places in Estonia the film opens the viewer to the current state of Estonian forests and shows how political decisions have affected the use of the common property. The film also offers solutions to move out of the deadlock of the debate and directs attention to the information that has been buried under the messages of controlled communication in the information noise of the forest war. The same kind of war that's being held across the globe.

Director: Martti Helde
