00:00 All through the evolution of mankind, there has been this constant connection.

00:07 You can see why this tree is almost dead.

00:14 A lot of things have happened to it.

00:20 When I look out at the trees in my backyard, I think about time.

00:26 This tree has been alive longer than Nonna and, oh, definitely than you.

00:32 This is a vine.

00:33 It's gobbling everything up.

00:34 It's just like there's a war.

00:39 Timber, it's always been a big thing in my life.

00:44 Back to my great-grandfather.

00:48 I don't know whether it didn't lead to my kidnapping, too.

00:54 The first trees I photographed, I was just drawn to how fragile they are.

01:05 It's called internment camp, but it was really a concentration camp.

01:10 If I can bring life to this tree and then have hope, maybe one day we'll get out.

01:19 My father bought my mother this cherry blossom tree.

01:22 All of the freedom that he didn't have in the world, he poured into that land.

01:27 Cold, heat, fire, volcano.

01:31 The tree could die, but the tree could live.

01:34 Be gentle.

01:35 But it's always going to carry the scar of it.

01:38 It's coming, it's coming!

01:40 Just builds on itself with time to become this.

01:45 That's a story.

01:48 That's a life well lived.
