Format: video Duration:4'27'' Format: HD Synopsis: Humans long for diverse freedoms at any cost, even at the expense of others.
The endless thirst includes consumption, technologies, colonialism, war, capitalism, and religions. However, many simply claim their basic human rights in the name of freedom.
In Iran, women are fighting for equality, for the right to their bodies and dress code.Palestinians are surviving in the ruins of their bombed country. Also Ukrainians emigrate from their invaded homeland.
In the Island of La Réunion where slaves and indentured workers from different cultures were brought, a man is meditating in a park. Peace for some. Joy for a few.
The human being defies nature, either by conquering the most hostile territories or building the highest skyscrapers as in New York City. Nature will also look for its freedom.
