How do you organise a free public screening with no equipment, no money and ever-increasing red tape at every turn? For the four Sudanese film directors at the heart of this warmly witty and moving documentary, cinema has been more than just their profession. The freedom to make and share films is their driving passion, and it’s a freedom that they long to bring back to Sudan. Now retired, the four life-long friends have formed the Sudan Film Group, with a mission to revitalise the country's film culture, starting with an ambitious plan in a crumbling open-air cinema.

A film about the value of cultural history and freedom of expression, Talking About Trees is a film-lover's delight and a paean to the joy of cinema.
