Hear from ReFrame Community Partner the Blue Community project about why water is a human right, shared commons and sacred gift in One River, Two Futures: reflections on water
It is 50 years in the future. What will a grandmother tell her grandchildren about the time of pandemic? What can she teach them - about stories, about grief, about hope?
The fire is stoked, the stars are shining and a voice rises from the flames. Weaving together poetic prose, imagery and sound, Starborn delves into a story contoured by the wounding of colonialism and held by the reckoning of the human responsibility to the land and to one another. In this personal, haunting, lyrically poetic film, grief and hope are held in balance, as we are asked to remember, imagine, breathe, and dream into new worlds. Starborn is an offering to the deepest layers of the heart, and a seed of hope for the ones yet to be born.
