They cut thousands, you plant millions; they cut millions, you plant trillions.

In a village in Pakistan, the sacred Peepal tree, known as Peepal Baba, is the heart and protector of the community. When the authorities plan to cut down the tree to make way for a motorway, the villagers try to save it. Despite their efforts, the tree is cut down, but it leaves behind hundreds of seeds – hope for the future.
