Plot Summary

Written and directed by Sil van der Woerd and Jorik Dozy, ‘Birthplace’ was shot in Komodo and Bali, Indonesia, with the goal to reconnect people to our common origins, and bring awareness to the global issue of marine plastic pollution. Lyrically and visually, 'Birthplace' sends a poignant message about humanity's effect on our life-giving ecosystem, and the consequences of surrendering to the status quo of everyday materials.
