Tree Fellers

From the rainforests of Honduras to the forests of Scotland in 1942, 900 Belizean lumberjacks came to help Britain fight fascism, felling trees. Sam, Eric and Amos stayed on after the War to make Scotland their new home, where, for better or worse, the colour of their skin marked them out. Newly discovered archive, memories and a final reunion intertwine to make this moving documentary.
