All change starts with a story. As the climate crisis escalates, a debilitating illness threatens Nicole’s life, then her daughter’s life, sending her on an unexpected journey. Her encounters reveal a path not only to personal healing but healing for the planet.
Emmy Award & Golden Spire winning director, Nicole Betancourt has produced over seventy short videos, created two video art installations, won over a dozen awards, participated in two fellowships, built a film festival, and launched the first online outreach toolkit for filmmakers.
A companion piece to the film, this interactive site-specific video and sound installation explores the interconnection of the human body and the Earth through the experiences of loss and illness. It includes a memorial to nature lost because of human behavior.
