There are Ghosts in the Cloud Forest that suck the digital data out of humans to stay alive and to stay in the realm of memory.
And there are also modern day Hungry ghosts who feed on the energy of political anger, racism and violence in our country.
In return for the data of the living, these Ghosts from the Cloud Forest provide the spirituality of nature and the beauty of biology.
This film was shot in the sacred Huangshan Mountains of China.
