As part of their weekend celebration of welcoming salmon back to Orcas Island, Long Live the Kings is hosting a free screening of the documentary “Mother: Sisterhood in the Wild” at the Orcas Center on Friday, September 12 at 6:30pm (917 Mt. Baker Rd.).
The film follows five remarkable BIPOC women who learn to survive and thrive together on an Arctic Circle expedition. A Q&A with filmmaker Chad Brown will follow the screening.
Mother is an emotional documentary of an arduous expedition set in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Mother is a testament to the majesty of Mother Nature in contrast to newly discovered friendship, survival, the resilience of the human spirit and the raw power of SISTERHOOD. They arrive at a provocative and intimidating intersection that is physically, philosophically, and personally daunting. They will learn to survive and thrive on the strengths they’ve always carried with them. They will learn to embrace the exuberance of Mother Nature and adapt, evolve and transcend . . . .beyond the sense of self they once understood. This story is told in 5 different perspectives in 5 distinct voices and spirited conversations. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is the magnificent stage. Together they explore existential questions about the sacredness of belonging in the outdoors, the power of nature to heal and to transform one’s soul. They find insights and answer to questions about how they as BIPOC women fit in to nature, what role can they play in preserving our outdoor spaces, advocating for preservation and indigenous cultures.
