Ancestral Wisdom for Collective Healing

For three years Maurizio Benazzo, Zaya Benazzo traveled into the heart of Indigenous lands and communities, collecting testimonies on the impact of colonization and the healing of those deep scars. 

Their hearts were shattered and remade from witnessing landscapes of deep suffering and resilient beauty. 

The Eternal Song emerged from this pilgrimage, a tribute to the enduring spirit of Indigenous Peoples and an incantation to the sacred interconnection between all beings.

It is an offering to a world enveloped in historical amnesia, numbed to its own heartbeat by the madness of modernity.

Weaving together Indigenous voices across generations and communities, the documentary uses storytelling as a conduit for ancestral wisdom. 

It is a prayer for collective remembering, an invocation to the rhythms of the Earth. We invite you to wade through the depths of our collective past, to grapple with historical traumas, and imagine pathways to collective healing.

May this Eternal Song offer medicine for our fractured times and help us reimagine our place in the sacred web of life.

Across sacred lands, Indigenous voices reveal both the deep wounds of colonialization and the ancestral wisdom that guides us toward healing. Through their stories, we remember our kinship with Mother Earth and reawaken to the eternal song of existence that calls us back to belonging. 

DE 

In heiligen Ländern offenbaren indigene Stimmen sowohl die tiefen Wunden der Kolonialisierung als auch die Weisheit der Vorfahren, die uns zur Heilung führt. Durch ihre Geschichten erinnern wir uns an unsere Verbundenheit mit Mutter Erde und erwachen zum ewigen Lied der Existenz, das uns zur Zugehörigkeit zurückruft.
