About the event
When a group of neighbours in Woodberry Down, Hackney, find out that the Council have given a property developer permission to chop down a much-loved 150-year-old local street tree - which even has its own name, the Happy Man Tree - they rally to save it.
Tickets cost £3. Book them here.
Katy McGahan’s film charts the ups and downs of a heated nine month battle from the point of view of the brave activists.
Join us to watch an unusual, innovatively-made grassroots film with a charismatic tree as its central character.
