As a young adult she became depressed, and was encouraged by her therapist to go for walks in the forest. The myriad of funny-looking twigs and sticks she found along the way immediately put her on a path to recovery. Now, 25 years later, she's a celebrated “twig poet“ whose art is shown in galleries throughout Sweden. When a climate related crisis strikes the forest where she lives and works, she's forced into a new type of creativity in order to save the place that once upon a time saved her. Filmed in: Värmland, Sweden Featuring: Maria “Vildhjärta“ Westerberg & Johannes Söderqvist () and Martin Jentzen () Produced, filmed and edited by: Mattias Olsson for Campfire Stories () Sound mix: Boris Laible () The films of the series “Something Beautiful for the World“ explore how small acts of love and kindness have the potential to ripple out and change the world, touching hearts and minds in ways that we could never begin to imagine.
