Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

In the short film "Forest Man" Javdav Payeng was conveyed as a man that planted a forest in a barren waste land in India. Javdav Payeng was planting the forest from 1976 and has become larger than central park. Javdav has made us think about the environment because no one knew that the forest was even there. I would recommend ages 5+ and all genders. truly inspiring

Forest Man is a very inspiring story. This short documentary shows Jadav Payeng's slow journey but also his consideration and care for this forest that he has been working on for 40 years. The forest is now bigger than central park that is situated in America. The title 'Forest Man' came from the former prime minister of India that gave Jadav Payeng's his special title 'The Forest Man' and his medal. The slow-paced music in this documentary conveys how long it takes to grow a forest and the immediate, caring attention that it takes to grow such a beautiful piece of nature. I would recommend you watch this film and think to yourself how lucky you really are to be surrounded by inspiring things in this world.

"Forest Man" is a Canadian documentary short film from 2013, so this one will have its 5th anniversary next year. It is until now the most known work by relatively young writer and director William Douglas McMaster. I watched the version the filmmaker uploaded on Youtube that only runs for 16.5 minutes and not for 23 as it says here on IMDb. Anyway, this is the story of an Indian man who planted many trees in favor of the environment on his little island. That's basically the core of it all really. Nice nature recordings, a soothing soundtrack and a couple interviews are all there is to this one here. It's a nice little movie in terms of the environment and you could categorize it as a film about everyday heroes, a subject people love referring to in films. Sadly, the way this was made is perhaps not as outstanding as the person depicted in here and the consequence is a relatively mediocre outcome overall. But thanks to the noble cause I still give it a thumbs-up while adding that it is not as good as it could have been, even if admittedly that's also quite a challenge at this runtime especially.
