Boyz N The Wood: Resilience in the Redwoods, directed by Faith Briggs Rose, follows a group of Black men stepping into the redwoods to reconnect with themselves, with each other, and something deeper.
While in nature, these men are given space to breathe, to be seen, and to show up fully without judgment. Through brotherhood, reflection, breathwork, and shared time outdoors, they are able to slow down, be present, and show up as they are. In the stillness of the forest, moments of joy, vulnerability, and connection unfold naturally.
This film is about remembering what has always been true: nature has always been home — a place to gather, heal, breathe, and a place of belonging. When Black men are supported, that care reaches far beyond the individual. Healing moves through families, friendships, and communities.
Step by step and breath by breath, among the California redwood trees, a group of Black men come together to build community, heal, and bond with each other and the nature around them
