I think you will enjoy the documentary The Hidden Life of Trees. It talks about trees and social networks of mycelium where trees share nutrients and information on threats (ant species X attacking, start chemical defenses) and mother trees prioritize their offspring over other neighbors when sharing nutrients.
There are whole worlds to be discovered yet here on our little blue dot of a planet
I think you are referring to "The Hidden Life of Trees" [1] a film based on the book by Peter Wohlleben of the same name.

I recently watched a german documentary "Das geheime Leben der Bäume" [1] where they visit this exact tree. Highly recommend it. The documentary is based on a novel of the same name by the author Peter Wohlleben [2].
