Event Description

Have you ever fallen in love with a tree? Watch a film documenting the fight to save Hackney's famous Happy Man Tree.

When a group of neighbours in Woodberry Down, Hackney, find out that the Council have given a property developer permission to chop down a much-loved 150-year-old local street tree - which even has its own name, the Happy Man Tree - they rally to save it.

Katy McGahan’s film charts the ups and downs of a heated nine month battle from the point of view of the brave activists.

Join Islington Climate Centre to watch an unusual, innovatively-made grassroots film with a charismatic tree as its central character.
