GAIA
“An extremely moving, beautifully made film--and with it's unique production background and budget, well, it pretty much epitomizes everything independent film should be; one of the best US indies I've seen in a few years” - Jane Schoettle, programmer at Toronto International Film Festival.
Gaia is the story of Emily, left for dead under the scorching sun of the barren Arizona desert & discovered by of a group of native Americans. She's taken to the reservation under the care of Ed and his Grand Daughter, Jerica.
Emily resists their hospitality & lies barely conscious for days. Eventually, the innocent free spirit of Jerica begins to break through. Images and dreams flood her consciousness, which in turn, illuminate the sad truth of her time prior to the reservation and force her to make a choice to surrender, embrace & rebirth out of chaos, or to die in the grips of darkness.
