Support us in creating more films like this : Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚 There comes a time in life when we realise that holding on to pain only deepens the scars we carry. The hurt we’ve endured, whether through betrayal, neglect, or misunderstanding, can weigh heavily on our hearts, tethering us to the past. But in the gentle act of letting go, we begin to free ourselves from the chains that bind us. When we choose to forgive those who have hurt us, not as an acceptance of their actions but as a release from the burden, we discover an unexpected gift — healing. As the bitterness dissolves, we feel lighter, as though the soul breathes again, untangling from the web of resentment. In that moment, healing blossoms within us, like a garden after the rain, nourished by the waters of understanding and grace. We step forward, no longer shackled to the pain of the past, but open, whole, and at peace with ourselves and the world around us. Featuring Robyn Simmons (Instagram - @) Filmed in Betty's Bay, South Africa. The quote read towards the end of this film is by Khalil Gibran: “The river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean because only then will fear disappear, because that’s where the river will know it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.” All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

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 – 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. 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.
