More Of Everything

Co-curated by Fourth Door

A documentary that lifts the lid on the Swedish Forestry Model, an approach that has been described as trying to get ‘more of everything’, and its impact on the country’s forest’s health and biodiversity.

With up to 90% of the country’s forests turned over to ‘production’ forestry which often means plantation monocultures, only small fragments of old growth forests remain.

This industrial approach is increasingly being questioned, and polarising opinion across the forested northern Nordic world. Groups spanning forest ecologists and scientists, Sami indigenous communities, campaigning organisations like Greenpeace and Swedish activists Protect the Forest (Skydda Skogen) contend that, far from a forward-looking example of the green bioeconomy, the forestry sector is doubling down on destructive ’business as usual', while portraying itself as a model 21st century green industry.
