"We cry among the skyscrapers
As our ancestors
Cried among the palms in Africa
Because we are alone,
It is night,
And we're afraid."
- Afraid by Langston Hughes
Delve into the mystical realm of communication from beyond in this emotional block of films about messages from our ancestors, the divine, our past selves, and everything above, below, and in between. Each story unravels the threads that connect us to the unseen, including those we’ve lost too soon, exploring how these messages can illuminate our paths and deepen our understanding of life’s mysteries.
In "Finding JaMia's Spirit," we follow the journey of JaMia, a curious and optimistic 5-year-old girl. After the loss of her father, JaMia grapples with the concept of him being in a "better place" and feeling abandoned right before her first day of kindergarten. With the guidance of her wise grandmother, Gam Gam, JaMia embarks on a search for her father's ancestor spirit. Through a series of heartwarming moments with her mother, Denise, and flashbacks of her father, JaMia discovers that her father's spirit is always with her, providing comfort and strength.
