The Vision

Our vision for the 12-film documentary series is to honor Indigenous resilience, illuminate sacred wisdom held for humanity and Earth, and invite healing across communities facing trauma and colonial erasure.

About the film

The Eternal Song, the first in a 12-film documentary series, is a cinematic journey through timeless lands and Indigenous cultures. Voices from across generations and traditions invite us to witness the enduring scars of colonization on lands and peoples, and the healing pathways carried through ancestral wisdom.

Entrusted with medicine stories, the film grapples with colonial legacies, intergenerational trauma, and the culture of separation that fragments our lives.

The film reveals how modernity severs our connection to nature, each other, and the ancestral realm, while feeding us empty promises of salvation, unlimited consumption and economic growth, and individual happiness.

As we are drawn into the intricate web of kinship and honoring the living presence of Mother Earth, we awaken a deeper remembrance. A sacred dance comes to life and we begin to hear the eternal song of Life itself, calling us back to belonging.

WISDOM OF THE ANCESTORS 12–FILM SERIES

The Eternal Song

Over the next two years, we will release a total of 12 full-length films featuring different indigenous traditions. Each film opens a portal into the ancestral wisdom of these cultures, calling us to remember, grieve, heal, and act.

Our job, our responsibility, as many of native peoples know, is about having to learn how to have peace with Earth. Not peace on Earth but peace with Earth.
Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation
To us, the land is not something different from us. The land is me. The land is us. And we are the land.
Samwel Leiyian Nangiria, Maasai Activist
Growing up on our territory, that was freedom. Our chiefs and our elders always said that you must know the land like you know the back of your hand.
Chief Na' Moks, Hereditary Chief of the Tsayu Clan
Healing is intergenerational, but it's also multi-generational.
Atarangi Murupaenga
Rongoā Māori Healer, Ahipara (New Zealand)
Our nervous system is not limited to our bodies. The nervous system is forests and rivers and mountains, and the past, and what is yet to come.
Bayo Akomolafe, Yoruba Philosopher
From the perspective of a medicine person, healing starts with dealing with the imbalances. Because from that perspective, we deal with the root cause. Instead of chasing symptoms.
Iya Affo, Culturalist and Historical Trauma Specialist
When we had our ceremonies, the wiping the tears ceremony... That was our therapy. It was spiritual therapy and therapy with the Earth.
Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Cheyenne River Lakota Nation
If you know your songs, then you know your country.
And if you know your country, you're never lost.
Dhinawan Baker, Gamillaroi Bigambul
