The Secret Life of Plants

"Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird’s popular 1973 book about plants’ lives and ability to communicate with other beings was dismissed by critics as pseudoscience. Walon Green’s underseen documentary shows what the book was perhaps always meant to be: an invitation to open our senses and, by considering the ability of plants to feel, communicate, and react to their environment, discover the mysterious, spiritual connections between all life on the planet. Featuring a phenomenal soundtrack by Stevie Wonder, The Secret Life of Plants is a visual and musical journey that changes—and amplifies—our perception of the human experience and its connection to the unknown." - Museum of Modern Art
