Synopsis
An area in Swaziland, adjacent to the Great Usutu River, was found to be ideal for planting a vast forest of quick pines. After intensive research a pulp mill of a new type which does not feed any effluent into the river was erected and put into operation. This is all seen in its relation to and impact upon the native population of the area.
