Sheila Nevins, The Unfixing Consulting Producer
As the climate crisis escalates, a debilitating illness threatens the filmmaker’s life, then her daughter’s life, taking the family to breaking point. Adrift yet lucid, her waking visions reveal a path not only to personal healing, but also a new narrative from which to see the world.
Kaeley Pruitt-Hamm, musician, chronic illness and environmental activist and host of the Canary Collective Podcast sits up in bed as she talks with THE UNFIXING creator Nicole Betancourt.
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.
