Filmed on location in the Kingdom of Bhutan
Made with the support of WWF, Suitcase Magazine, and the Tourism Council of Bhutan.
Thank you for helping bring this story to life WWF! I'm inspired by Sonam and his dedication to making the world a better place.
This is mesmerizing! Thanks a lot for showing us what communities are working on not only to face climate change, but also because it's part of their values and principles. These beautiful examples make us reconsider our lifestyles and inspire us to do the same in our countries 💙 I harness this opportunity and invite you to know more about Kara Solar in Ecuador, an amazing project of the Achuar community based on ancentral knowledge and modern techonology :)
Thanks again to the amazing team behind this and keep your great work up showing us want we can do for our planet and people 🙌🙌🙌
This was inspiring!!! And beautifully shot
Just amazing! Such an inspiring story so beautifully told,!
"Produced by Finn Harries". Thank you, Finn for YOUR dedication to making the world a better place, also.
So so beautifully done! Congratulations Finn!
My country, Bhutan is doing so much to help combat global warming and climate change. Yet, the saddest part is that it seems like no one else cares.
We are already seeing the effects and impacts of climate change (thanks to our neighbors) on our little Kingdom and the worst part is that we have done absolutely NOTHING to contribute to it.
We are trying, but how much can we, a country of 700,000 people really do when the rest of the world keeps destroying our Mother Earth.
Let us all never forget that we do not have another planet to go to. Let us become guardians of this beautiful earth that gave us life.
hey! i'm planning a trip to Bhutan next year but been getting quite confused with the entry restrictions, if you can add me to ig so i ask u some questions i'd highly appreciate it @ juandiegoap . Thanks in advance!
Great to see this live! Thanks for sharing WWF.

I saw the film and it is so well done, beautiful scenes in an amazing place. But what most caught my attention, was the protagonist. A single person planting more than 100,000 trees and being so dedicated ... is captivating.
@James James Nope it's not.
Beautiful guys !
I see directly the good job of the brothers Harries 👍🏻
Thank you, Bhutan.
It is one of the many stories that Bhutanese sacrifice for its nature. And we mean it for the peace and happiness of the world. I lost my two dogs to leopard and several cattle’s to tiger....yet I am happy
Educating humanity in matters of conservation is dependent on a lot more people of the same ilk as the Harries!
Awesome story. I dont have idea of this reality. Bhutan its a great example and Sonam a true hero. This story must be know for everyone.
Such an inspiring film. One person can make such a difference!
He is such an inspiration to me. Thank you Mr. Sonam ❤️
What a beautiful and inspiring film. Well done to all involved. If only all the other countries would follow like Bhutan...
Sometimes I find it really difficult to be positive and upbeat about the future. The human race has become a parasite that's killing this planet and not enough people seem to care. Films like this inspire and remind me to utilise my own skills as a filmmaker and spread this message of conservation and hope 👏🏼 we all have a part to play - big and small
Beautiful capture
Amazing shots and content..
Beautiful
Very inspiring and the film was well done
This type of film and this type of person are exactly what this world needs more of.
The future depends solely on the restoration of balance between nature and humanity, if not allowing nature the space to exceed us in some ways. We have gone to far, and must desperatly rebuild this lost harmony.
this is magnificent guys
Amazing!
Its amazing. If one man can do so much. Its truly inspiring
This is so beautiful, so pure, so raw. I hope more and more people could be inspired by this.
Respect from India.
This is amazing! Every single person behind this deserves to be recognized. Especially Sonam. He is a very inspiring man. Thank you.
Hello there, such a beautiful video. Great work you guys did there. It is so inspiring.
I live in Greece and I want to help make the world a better place. But I'm not sure what else I can do besides recycling.
immaculate content.
Beautiful film, congratulations to Matthew Firpo, the Harries brothers and everyone else involved. Sonam is a real inspiration - 100,000 trees planted just by himself! If 7-8 trees were planted by or for every man, woman and child in my country, that would be half a billion new trees. Imagine that!
Mesmerisingly beautiful. Thank you WWF and Thank you Sonam.
This is so beautiful, such a wonderful country and amazing people 💚
We shall never give up. With the blessings of His Majesties, Bhutan shall thrive and become an example to the rest of the world. 🇧🇹🇧🇹🇧🇹🇧🇹
Que hermoso ❤️
Jack is a legend
Cinematographer did an astounding job just wow
Every frame a painting
Thank you Jack!
With every trees planted, worth Every life to spare and for the future generation. Very inspiring, clearly to say would love to live the way Sonam did!
I am crying. This is so beautiful. What an inspiration.
Wow !!! I’m really impressed by the beauty of this place and by how this man has dedicated his entire life to the preservation of nature. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Bhutan is leading such a brilliant example. The world needs to catch up!
Sonam is the real public figure, and brothers Harries and team are the great and inspiring content creators. Thank you for introducing Sonam to us, and great WWF for presenting this. Thank you Sonam for reminding us that our lives is short and your hope to serve the next generations has made my eyes in tears and inspiring my heart so much. Need more of viewers for content like this :'). They did a huge job.
Beautiful documentary! Needs to be seen by all 🙏
Goes to show how no matter how small something or someone can seem in the grand scheme of things, they can always make great change.
Such a beautiful and sacred place, I would love to come and breathe this energy one day. It is sure needed here in America
Incredible story and storytelling, with a beautiful production! Thank you!
Beautiful storytelling, message and visuals. 👏
I lived in Bhutan for two years. That's a whole different world. It either exists inside a dream or inside a worm hole. I miss Bhutan so much.
Wow, what a great work this man is doing! Who could have thought that only one person could make such a big difference?
Even if there were just a handful of people, such as Sonam, from different district of the world, it would be a much richer and better place.
Thank you for helping us bring this special story to life - it all starts one person at a time.
Wow, I got chills all throughout, this film is absolutely beautiful

This short film was well crafted and captured Bhutan beautifully. Great work.
This short film is beautiful, Sonam Phuntsho and his community are amazing and inspiring, and the crew who made this happen are true artists (especially after watching the behind the scenes work on Jack's channel).
So beautiful and inspiring. Wishing we could all implement more of these practices and mindsets to take care of the world that we depend on.
It is so inpirational and good and we should also protect our environment and our planet from ourselves.

So beautifully done and that man is an inspiration for us all. There is so much a single person can do to make a difference.
Beautiful, elegant and inspiring.
Such an eye-opening film. I hope the message transcends to the walls of our conscience on conserving the environment for the future generation.
