内容简介：每年印度尼西亚都有一个烧山毁林的季节。大约300个足球场面积的雨林被砍伐并烧毁，以开垦土地种植其他像棕榈树等作物。受其所害的，有频临灭绝的猩猩，还有全球气候。伐林垦地而产生的二氧化碳占全球总排放量的百分之二十。
孙多杰，一个29岁的澳大利亚华裔环保主义企业家，开始寻找解决这个问题的办法。他的想法是，把印尼三个省份的雨林所代表的碳信用（温室气体排放权）卖给西方的污染大国。尽管人们对这种碳交易有很多怀疑，孙多杰要做“大生意”的诉求让他从悉尼来到了纽约、华盛顿D.C.、旧金山和伦敦。。。。。。
最后一幕发生在巴厘岛联合国气候变化会议上。当历史性的一幕正式上演时，孙多杰不屈不挠地追求他的生意。他是环保先驱兵，还是无良奸商？他的理念对于世界上剩存的森林以及气候变化所面临的挑战又有什么价值？

Brief Synopsis：
Every year, there is a burning season in Indonesia. Rainforest areas equivalent to 300 football fields are cut down and burnt every hour to clear land for crops such as palm oil. The victims include the critically-endangered orangutan and the worlds climate. Deforestation contributes 20% of global carbon emissions.

A 29 year old Chinese/Australian environmental entrepreneur, Dorjee Sun, sets out to find a solution. His idea involves selling the carbon credits represented by large forest areas in three Indonesian provinces to big polluters in the West. Despite the scepticism surrounding carbon trading, Dorjee’s quest for a ‘big deal’ takes him from Sydney to New York, Washington DC, San Francisco and London。。。。。。

The final act takes place at the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali. As the drama of this historic moment plays out, Dorjee relentlessly pursues his deal. Is he a pioneer or a profiteer?  What value does his concept offer to the remaining forests of the world and to the challenges of climate change?
