The Film
The Eternal Song
Remembering Where We Belong
For two turning seasons of the earth, we journeyed into the heart of Indigenous lands. Our hearts opened to stories of pain and profound beauty, etched in soil and soul, in the eyes of elders and the laughter of children. The Eternal Song emerged from this pilgrimage—a witnessing of living histories, a tribute to the enduring spirit of Indigenous Peoples, an invocation of the sacred dance between all living things. It is our offering to a world thirsting for remembrance, a world that has forgotten its own heartbeat in the madness of modernity.
In a world numbed by modernity, a journey through thirteen Indigenous cultures unveils forgotten wisdom, challenging us to reawaken our connection to Mother Earth, each other, and the cosmic dance of life.
The Collection
You know how sometimes, life takes you down an unexpected path that turns out to be better than anything you could have planned? That’s exactly what happened with our film project. Back in May 2022, we set out with our small crew to make a single documentary about the impact of colonization on indigenous cultures around the world. But something beautiful happened along the way. As we spent time with these diverse communities, we realized that cramming all their stories into one film would never do them justice. Each group of people we met touched our hearts in different ways, while sharing their struggles, their dreams, and their amazing spirit of resilience.
Our one film then grew into something much bigger: The Eternal Song, our main feature, plus 12 more feature-length films that dive deep into each community we visited. Our journey took us from the sacred lands of the Navajo in Arizona to the vibrant Maasai communities in Kenya. In Brazil, we were blessed to film both in the Amazon rainforest and with Indigenous communities in Mato Grosso do Sul. We traveled from the ice-covered shores of Greenland to the rich cultural landscapes of Hawaii, Australia, and New Zealand. We also connected with the remarkable IFA community in Virginia—descendants of the transatlantic slave trade now reclaiming and reviving their African ancestral traditions—and filmed with Indigenous peoples in multiple locations in British Columbia. Each community shared with us their own powerful story of survival, remembrance, and revival. Through their eyes, we came to understand not just the devastating impact of colonization, but more importantly, the precious wisdom and profound beauty that indigenous cultures hold for all of humanity.
May what we learned be transmitted to you through the spirit of this project, and help create a more just and harmonious world for all beings—human, animal, plant, mineral, and spirit alike.
