Join us for a reflective online gathering designed for cross-cultural kids, those who grew up across multiple cultures. We’ll screen Aerial Roots, a poignant short film exploring the emotional terrain of growing up in shifting landscapes. Through the eyes of Girl, Heart, and Home, the film gently unearths the grief and complexity that can accompany constant change.

The event includes grounding rituals, small group discussions on cross-cultural childhoods and unprocessed grief, and ends with a soothing meditation. A space to connect, reflect, and root, wherever you are.

ABOUT THE FILM

Aerial roots is a short film that explores the phenomenon of growing up in ever changing landscapes. The main characters, Girl, Heart and Home, navigate rising feelings of unprocessed grief, for with every move comes loss - of friends, of home, of pets, of favorite places.
