Mama Earth is continuing on a journey with Right of passage films to tell powerful stories about humanity and culture.
Right of passage is about the movement of people and their right to carry who they are with them wherever they go. In a time where the world is faced with mass human migration as a result of environmental, political and other forces, I AM FROM THE SUN reinforces the common threads between us all and the unity we must show towards all humans, regardless of their origins.
In 2018, MAMA EARTH initiative Project OM started providing art therapy to teenage girls taken from their families at the US Mexico border. This is one of the poems and illustrations written by a young border detainee. Lead by Project OM‘s Ivory Tifa, the participants created art and poetry about their heritage.
