Host a Screening of The Unfixing
About The Film
The Unfixing is a feature documentary that explores how creativity and connecting with nature can become ways of staying with what’s hard and finding a way forward when bodies fail, when futures feel uncertain, and when the world itself seems to be shifting beneath our feet.
Woven through a personal journey from chronic illness to healing, the film also engages the larger context of the climate crisis and climate psychology, showing how these overlapping experiences ask us to rethink how we relate to our bodies, each other, and the planet.
Rather than offering tidy answers, The Unfixing opens space for reflection on process, vulnerability, interdependence, culture, and what it means to keep making meaning in a world shaped by loss that is both personal and ecological.

"The Unfixing is an evolutionary film featuring the human condition as a reflection of our Mother Earth’s health and healing processes. I recommend this film for all people, and especially our young people who are the next generation(s) of caregivers. It is key that they build a respectful relationship with our Mother Earth and within themselves"

"Through immersion of her entire body in creative process, she seeks to heal herself, her family, and the entire planet in a rhythmic, metaphor laden, narrative, and aesthetic film that promoted a palpable sense of hope in my physical being of nature being capable of healing in ways we, as humans, have not yet begun to understand"
