to trust the ground might free us (begin again)
This experimental film meditates on the reach towards liberation as an ongoing process through the language of landscape and the body, engaging the intersecting historical and contemporary threads linking the West African nation of Liberia and the United States through a visual and textual poetics. Inter-woven imagery of New England forests, Liberian cotton trees and historic sites such as Dozoa (Providence Island), the Atlantic Ocean, gesture, sun beams, color fields, Vai language logograms, and archival findings invite viewers to consider the multiple resonances of landscapes as sites of refuge, sites of violence, sites of reparation, and sites of healing.
