Director Statement

We are the planet crying melting glacier tears.
We are the planet who has the fever of forest fires.
Gasping for rainforest breath.
We are the planet with plastic islands.
From its polluted mind separate from its nature.
We are the planet who’s dooming itself.
We're the planet who sees its own imbalanced life.
Out of control waring itself.
Like a snake eating its own tale and resting in delight.
We are the planet that has no treaties.
Only broken ideals.
We're the planet who is in darkness.
That needs to be awakened by its own inner light.
We are all existence.
