During difficult and dark times, we often feel an overwhelming sense of isolation, as if the weight of our struggles is ours alone to bear. In these moments, it's important to recognise that authenticity and genuine openness can act as a beacon, guiding us towards a network of support we may not have realised was there.
Authenticity acts as a lantern, revealing people who stand ready to share the weight of our struggles. When we bravely show our true selves, including our vulnerabilities, we uncover an unseen tapestry of connections, woven with threads of support, kindness, and understanding. And in being our true selves, we invite others to join us in navigating the difficulties of life, transforming our solitary journey into a shared path illuminated by the warmth of human connection.
Filmed in Seattle, USA.

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 - 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.
