Dancing for a brighter future

The Project

In 2019 I travelled in the United States with Moritz Winiger, aiming to produce a documentary on indigenous wisdom and healing. We were invited by Izzi & Adam, twi friends and indigenous brothers. They dedicate their life to their organisation, called 'Ancestral Medicine Revival', which really says it all. During out travels, we met a lot of incredible people and had to capture some of what they had to share. Instead of a trailer, we shot a series of mini-documentaries, in order to capture the essence of what we were trying to share. Sadly Covid-19 made it impossible for us to return to the States to shoot the main film and the project has since been on ice.

Mia Murillo
A dance teacher may not be a very remarkable occupation elsewhere, but on a native American reservation, where opportunities are limited, Mia Murillo is making a massive difference. Our travelling companion Izzi, came across Mia on social media. A dance teacher on a reservation in Idaho. We were intrigued. We hope you enjoy this short piece, it gave us so much joy to be there with Mia and her students.
