HOLLOW TREE

GROWING UP AT THE END OF THE EARTH

GROWING UP AT THE END OF THE EARTH

HOLLOWTREE

Hollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeland of Louisiana. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River’s engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and billowing smokestacks. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.

“Why are we accepting this?”

Tanielma Da Costa

“The only cypress trees you’ll see are the ones that have become hollow with age. When that happens, they’re no longer useful for lumber, and that’s the only way they’ve been able to survive.”

Annabelle Pavy
