What are we teaching our children, if we have no respect for nature ourselves.
It is time for us to pass on our compassion.

My husband and I have just watched this in awestruck silence. When the horses
appeared the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. A brilliant film, viewed
through tears, it should be shown to everyone on the planet.

The imagery in the film shows our growing disconnection with Mother Earth.
Sacrificing nature for the progress of the modern world. Not realizing what we
are losing from our heiritage and spirit but what is replacing it is something
that poisons our spirit and Mother.

The simplicity of the imagery, communicated the cries of those great Oak,
direct unto the soul. Two horse appear seemingly hearing the call of the great
Oak as it falls, it is apparent that we need to connect to nature and God, and
appreciate all of the God given creations in our home.

Excellent. You can help feeling that there is something wrong with the nation
(UK). This is not only a death of a tree, but the death of a nation. It's
goodbye to the Anglo-Saxon world, it's culture and heritage.

What a touching movie! Indeed, England, if they keep felling the trees, we will
be wiped out. Human, and animal, life will not survive in England. The horses
knew. They always know. They always will know. Stop the felling of plant, and
through that, animal, human and fish life. If they keep this going for another
10,00 years, we will cease to egsist.

This is a perfect example that a powerful statement can be made in a brief and

important in the world. Thanks for the reminder.

I have never ever seen a better made movie than this one, this is something
EVERYBODY should watch.. and even more important.. LEARN from it! Let us
remember who whe are and where we came from, let us honour our ancestors, they
who had so much more wisdom than we have today.

I cried. What an incredible loss to our future generations and what message do
we as humans bring. And the beauty of the two black horses,the message they
seem to convey.Which will we finally choose? Destruction seems to be our
course...will it be too late when we finally stop and listen? BLessings to you!

What a beautiful yet sad film. The horses were amazing. The oak trees were
majestic. It's so sad to see man heedlessly cutting them down and chasing the
horses away. Man no longer has any respect for nature. It will be mankind's
undoing.

I am almost speechless this is so sad.When will it ever end it. I am from the
USA and i must say as an american nothing will change until the vast majority
of humankind is wiped out. Look at hurrican Katrina they knew it was gonna
happen someday yet they did not prepare. And now New Orleans has been
discovered to be sinking faster than what they originally thought and they
start rebuilding it. Powerfull film. soul stirring

This is a powerfull film. The indifference and even amusement on the faces of
those destroying the ancient oaks show their hostility to the land where they
live. Truly I see the spirits of Horsa and Hengest in those magnificent and
brave horses.

Magnificent film in all respects, except the fate of the trees. I felt as
though I was one of those trees - felled! The horses role showed that Nature
felt as I do - outraged at the senseless destruction of ancient beauty.

Oh my gods, the spirits of Hengest and Horsa return to greet their equine
brothers and to pound the earth in anger and grief at the end of magnificent
oaks. What has become of England, indeed. How anyone can continue to refer to
us as mere "tree huggers" now is beyond me. All I can say is curse
this madness and evil that infuses our people and makes them bring down what
would once have been deemed a great being, a fellow of Fangorn, a friend. Curse
these people and their ways, their dumb obedience, their lack of intelligent
compassion. And bless this man who made this film because although he couldn't
stop the carnage he and his supporters have captured it forever and we have
seen it and the wheels of wyrd will grind the perpetrators to powder in their
own good time. Curse this wicked wicked materialism that robs people of their
compassion and breaks the bonds between man and nature and sends forth the
spirits of the elders in the shape of two wild horses to shame them for
eternity.

Hundreds of years to grow, and provide home and shelter for so many creatures,
and gone in a few minutes. Maybe if the human lifetime was longer, then the
scale of the destruction would be more sorely felt. Quite heartbreaking, but
thank you for bearing witness.

Thank you for sharing your powerful recording. I sometimes think it is only
here in America that our "representatives" go ahead with their
"progress". I am sorry it is happening in England too. I pray that
through your message, and the powerful horses, some people will WAKE UP, and
realize we are all connected.

Made me cry, followed by anger that this kind of trashing is still happening
around the world, and even most people here who are moved by it will not take
action to halt the destruction, and may even be taking planes & buying food
flown from far away, and thus hastening humanity's end. Check out:

We also seem to think that animals have no thoughts or feelings, but perhaps

I am so impressed by this sensitivity but, most distressingly, not surprised.
Increasingly I know that, generally speaking, we know the price of everything
but the value of nothing. Our present Government has no concern for the mores
of yesteryear, or the values of anything, either today or yesterday. We are
governed by shallow and false representation of the populace that is, in
reality, representation of nothing of any value at all. So, where do we go from
here? Nowhere, I sugggest. How do we survive in a vacuum, that constitutes
nothing??? It cannot be possible!!! Therefore, we die! I am not happy to die
like this - are you?

I'll never forget this beautiful little film. It encompasses the sad developing

living things by doing the extraordinary.

There are only five stars? This film.....where are the words? They simply don't
exist. Wild horses trying to save trees with more majesty by far than any human
being. The horses proved their humanity far better than any there holding a
chain saw or wearing a bright orange vest. If we don't learn to respect what is
in nature, we WILL be forced to succumb to it. This film puts this fact
beautifully into focus. The horses....oh the horses........

This film opened my eyes and reminded me why we should be ashamed of ourselves!
It opened my heart again and reconnected me to the plight of our beloved Mother
Earth. Even the animals are protesting, so should we, for the conservation not
the destruction of our heritage and beautiful world. Have forwarded this to
others. Will keep this as a reminder when the heart goes out of me. Thanks for
reconnecting me to what is valuable.

That was incredible. The wild horses were Otherworldly; I was in awe,
especially at the moment of communication between the wild horse and the police
horse; I could sense the challenge of the wild horse and the refusal of the
other as clearly as if they had spoken out loud in english. That was just meant
to be captured on camcorder!

Indeed, a very touching film. Shivers went down my spine watching it... What
man does to nature is a terrible crime, the claws of mankind's technology
mangle the very source of life mankind depends on, and blinded by it's vast
greed, it can't nor won't understand earth's benevolent signs... And then all
those believers in science and technology panic and cry in awe, when nature
shows it's concern in fiercer answers to the agonizing pain it has to endure...

It was amazing; so horrifying to watch the giant oaks fall down. I felt like I
was watching an execution...awful. And the black horses were so wild and free, and
obviously had strong feelings for what was going on in their woodlands. The
background music was beautiful, too.

Quite incredible, haunting and very very humbling. Horses in general would not
approach such a large crowd of predators - especially with yellow jackets!
Maybe they just wanted to see the police horses, but I don't think so - they
too have lived with those trees and this was their territory.

This was a very emotional experience...I feel for that oak! *Just through this

are there wild horses in your country?) and I am sure they felt anger about it
all, also. I am sorry it wasn't stopped. That murder- I hugged some trees
yesterday (birches and "Asp"-our Swedish name-at my beautiful walk

Hi, I am from Texas and too,we are experiencing the same sort of destruction of
trees, forests, and pollution of our rivers and ocean in the name of progress.
I enjoyed the film but especially the narration. Hearing the message with an
accent that is not heard very often, seems to make the message much clearer and
profound. The Universe sends its helpers such as the wild horses to make a
statement even when they are not successful in the stopping of such atrocities.
However, the ones who witness such atrocities will remember when what they have
done returns to haunt them and it will. Our Universe is in trouble unless the
very few like us can figure out how progress and the earth's health can
co-exist for the good of all mankind.

The Creator doesn't look at me any better than He looks at the trees. We're all
the same." --Janice Sundown Hattet, SENECA Sometimes humans think we are
the center of the Universe. Sometimes we think we are above or better than
other people or things. The Great Spirit made a set of Laws and Principles by
which all things should live. Everybody and everything lives by the same Laws.
We are all made of atoms just like the trees. The life force in the middle of
the atom is the life force of the Great Mystery. It is the same for everything.

This film was both sad and amazing. It truly captured the essence of how
horrible it is that humans without reserve take from Mother Earth and give
nothing back. The oak crying out to the wild horses...their efforts at
protection...mother earth weeps.

Posted by Jessamyn Kennedy on 16/4/06
I also cried; it is amazing to see that the sacred oak, once the guardian of
the land, has been felled as if it were nothing more than a useless weed. The
visitation by a wild pair of ancient island ponies just solidifies it for me
that the land cries out as well. For shame.

Actions speak louder than words. The spirited gestures of these two black
ponies demonstrate the deepest reverence and connection to the ancient oaks.
What an honour to capture and share such a moment on film which touches our
hearts, reaches our souls and give us the opportunity to join in united respect
and value of them too.

Beautiful and eerie. The narrator preaches too much, but that uncanny vigil by
the wild horses (did anyone else recognize them for Dales Ponies? A very
ancient British breed) makes up for the film's flaws. According to ancient
Celtic legend, the Pooka is a woodland spirit that takes the form of a horse,
and its appearance signals or prophesies a death. I would not like to be anyone
on that tree-cutting crew.

This film moved me to tears (and I had no audio with it on my first pass
through). That those horses conquered their natural fears to come and witness
the end of those trees speaks volumes. Are enough of us listening? Nature has
an abundance of knowledge to impart to us if only we put aside our natural
human arrogance and listen to those living things offering to share their
wisdom with us.

The film was beautiful and very sad to see the very old trees being cut down
and the horses appearance was mystical but purposeful it seems. Even though the
music and commentary influenced my emotions on the subject matter, I turned the
sound off and still got the same kind of feeling that horses were trying to
make a point and send a message!

Unfortunately this movie is so true. That's the price we have to pay for
driving impressive cars to compensate for a small penis and build houses that
are far too big just to impress other people. It's about time that people start
to realize this consumerism will kill us all. We don't need all this bullshit

I didn't think those there to shield the company destroying the trees had any
evidence of "profound effect" on their faces. They were merely doing
their "job" without regard to this planet, as most people on this
planet continue to do. They all fail to recognize that each and every human who
allows the continued destruction of the planet by protecting their
"jobs" is complicit in the destruction of this planet!

Obviously seeing it in this manor lowered it's quality. However it had much to
offer in the way of content and humanities', or at least England's, dependence
on trees. They are not only creatures of beauty but vital to our own survival.
The filmaker attempted to make the connection that surely exists amongst all of
earth's life forms. Plant,Animal and Man and our dependence on each other for
survival. He did so against the backdrop of England a country which was once
mighty and owned much of the world once upon a time. What has become of the
once Majestic England? What is becoming of our vital trees? And what will
become of us the creatures that inhabit the earth? Will we Wake up too late? Or
just not wake up?

poor dave, open your heart. youre the one in the small circle, you poor dear.
This film has been watched by over a quater of a million people on this site
alone.. and its on other sites.. including Channel 4. That IS powerful and
moving. A sad and telling truth though that outside of the 'hippies and
converted' it may be met with a yawn and a shrug... just like the securtiy
guards in the film eh? Why dont people care anymore? I suppose it easier to be
aloof and condescending than to try and grapple with real heartfelt emotions.
Get in touch with your feminine side Dave, then you might get a girlfriend.

Nice visuals marred by an obtrusive, clichéd "on the nose"
narration. Done well, this footage could have been made into something powerful
and moving. Unfortunately, it was put together with a lead hand and the result
is too corny to be instructive. Sure, it will make hippies and the truly converted
cry, but outside of that small circle, it will be met with a yawn or a shrug -
which is too bad given the importance of the message. Good try and good luck in
the future.

Very Moving. I just finished reading a book with amazing photographs on the
last remaining great trees in the U.K. that had a time-line of what was
happening historically through the trees lifetime. That was really interesting
and very moving. I wish I still remembered the name of the book. We bought our
home here on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada because we hope to
give a chance to the giant Douglas Firs and Cedars we have on our land but all
around us they are clearing forest to make way for an expanding town.

is always hope. Thus, let us hope together?

Listening to truth is a gift: by moving in and being visible on a scale humans
can see the horses make the trees voices audible: the narrator gives their

undignified passing of the grandfathers, and plant new sons and daughters here
in my land.

Poignant. We still have learnt so little and I grieve for what mankind has, and

power finally do something to protect that which nurtures us all? Very sad. The
roads are built, habitats destroyed and quick growing trees planted instead of
trees such as these majestic symbols of Britain. To have such low regard for
those oaks that had been there for generations. Very sad indeed.

know to gather as many chickens and telescopes that you can find and run to the
hills, run, RUUUNNNNN!' I snapped out of my 'session' at this point and went to

--- I think it would've been better if the narration had included something
about WHY the trees were being cut down, and what was going on there that
required so many security goons. --- That said, this film captures a very
special (if tragic) moment.

When man threatens Mother Earth, deems it his right to destroy ancient
creations, often we will see messengers trying to warn against/prevent the
destruction. The spirits of the Oaks had protectors, they were present in many
forms, the horses were only two. The message they brought went unheeded and now
man will eventually bear the brunt of the crime that has been committed against
Mother Earth and her children. Something fragile and beautiful has been
destoyed forever. We are all poorer for this event. Thank you for the film, the
witness, I will not forget this event.

inhabatince of this world. And it is shamful

One more evidence that human beings are the cancer of this world. I'm deepest
sad and furious. The horses....just holy!

The butchering and murder of those majestic trees is horrible. Will we ever
wake up and stop the rape of mother earth before it is too late.

This is an amazingly moving film. As a tree and horse lover, it literally
brought tears to my eyes. I have just witnessed the felling of three 150+ yr
old macracarpa trees as part of the coastal protection works in west dorset -
the council and mowlem have destroyed a beautiful rugged area unnecessarily
removing many trees, even though with a bit of effort they could have worked
round some of them. What can we do? Even trees with TPO orders on them can be
removed if the council agree to it! However, the behaviour of the 'wild' horse
to the police horse is in fact quite normal.

As mankind moves futher from God and his rules, We fall futher into destruction
of ourselvels. God thru these two lovely horses gives new meaning to horse
sense , since we lost common sense. It is time to close public schools for the
system teach nothing but controled destruction of the mind and common sense.
The wild horses with the lack of goverment control education showed suprising
more reverance of God's beauty of English Oak.

Awesome moment. It is too bad that animals have more sense and empathy than
people. God needs to step in and gently awaken man..for they are asleep.

I cried while watching. Truly the horses knew and felt the impact and are far
more evolved spirits than we humans.

This is so beautiful and so sad. It made me cry, but it made me know that what
I feel towards horses is true! Trees DO have feelings; horses DO understand
love. Blessed Be.

Sentimental madness and a lack of knowledge about horses.

This type of non-sensational message about the truth of our modern situation is
beautiful and very valuable. Thank you!

This is a very disturbing film. I always wonder what the people that are
cutting the trees down, think we will breath when all of the oxygen is gone
from the earth.

Wow, someone sent me think link and I don't know for sure who, but I thought
this film was beautiful if incredibly sad. I really, really enjoyed it but
wanted to cry at the same time. Moving, doesn't begin to describe it for me.
Thanks!
