“Liberation and mental health are intertwined, and we must be the healers who stand for both… Let us unite, as healers and defenders of human rights, to bring about a world where mental health is synonymous with justice and liberation.”
—Dr. Samah Jabr, Psychologist & Author
This is a community film screening ceremony, for us to gather, slow down and approach the viewing as a shared act of attention. After the screening, there will be a guided discussion for anyone who would like to share about their experience and reflections, followed by a fire circle. 🔥
We will have two special guests, environmental educator Clancy Lester and Yorta Yorta Barapa Barapa trainee ecologist Kai Lane.
All net proceeds go to supporting the filmmakers, and two Indigenous-led projects: Trauma-Informed Healing at We Al-li, and Healing Spaces for Men Experiencing Homelessness at The Barracks. Donate to them directly and read more about their work here.

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.
