Rooted
It is from the roots, nourished by the soil, that the plant will grow. To be rooted, is to deeply and firmly position yourself in the world. To be rooted is to be resilient against forces that may attempt to shake you. The films in Rooted show us that roots are not solitary, and can be manifested through deep connection, sensitivity and solidarity.
