La isla está viva

“A love letter to the mountains.”

This short documentary captures the mountains of San José de Ocoa in the Dominican Republic, once home to the Taíno people. Rooted in the Taíno belief that the island is a living, feminine being, where life begins within her cave-womb and sacred waters. An immersive landscape charged with spiritual and cultural meaning.
