Forest fires are threatening to destroy one of Portugal’s last natural regions, the Serra da Estrela. If the fires continue, Portugal will lose more than the trees it burns. It will lose the generations of history and tradition kept alive in the farming communities and villages that survive and live off the forests. Young people from the region have already started to leave, saying that there is no future here. This film follows the scientists, farmers and people who are fighting to create a landmark project that will stop forest fires and save the Star from being burned.
