Set in the lush tropics of Xishuangbanna, Children of the Rainforest is a nature-humanity hybrid documentary that reveals the intimate relationships between plants, animals, microbes—and humans—within China’s only tropical rainforest. The “children” of the rainforest live in harmony with their environment, each species vital to the whole. From biodiversity to sustainable living, the series portrays a living system that is both ancient and fragile. It’s a lyrical invitation to see nature not as a resource, but as kin.
