Thank you Justine & Michael đ
Humanity is one big, eight-billion-person family that lives together on Earth - born on the same planet, covered by the same skies, gazing at the same stars, breathing the same air.
We may speak different languages and belong to different cultures, but we are all part of the same human family. And like any other family, we are all unique - we have our own likes and dislikes, our own temperaments, our own experiences - but that doesn't make us any less a part of our family.
In a world where kindness knows no boundaries, we have the power to create a tapestry of unity, where every person is valued, and the bonds of our human family are strengthened by the threads of empathy and respect. It is time we start to acknowledge that we are all in this together. The sooner we start to greet each other with open arms and open hearts, the sooner we will be able to make a change.
âWe are all related. And when you become aware of that, you realise how important it is to take care of your sisters and brothers.â - Jay Bowen, Upper Skagit Tribe.
Filmed in Skagit Valley Washington, USA.
Featuring Jay Bowen (jaybowen-art.com/wordpress/)

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth â that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
