WILD EAST

DOCUMENTARY SHORT | IN PRODUCTION | DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY & STORY CONSULTANT

Romania contains 70% of Europe’s last primary forests, but IKEA, the largest consumer of wood in the world, is logging these forests close to extinction. Wild East follows activist Gabi Paun, who risks his life to stop them. This film will challenge audiences to reflect on how a global corporation can implicate us all.
