Tree Man

Hundreds of Christmas tree sellers from across North America journey to the streets of New York City to ply their trade. Having left homes and families behind, they endure the adversity of a migrant's survival, living out of their cars and vans. François, a "Tree Man" and father of three from Québec, returns to the same Manhattan street corner every year to deliver the magic of the season. The film explores François' journey and the relationships that sustain him. While he may sell trees for a living, it is his role as the neighborhood Tree Man that draws the community closer together and gives meaning to his grueling month far from home. (XLrator Media)
