If you joined us for Where Olive Trees Weep, then you’ve already experienced a chapter of The Eternal Song.
Where Olive Trees Weep was originally envisioned as part of a 12-film collection bearing witness to the impact of colonization on Indigenous people, cultures and lands worldwide. Though we had planned to release the Palestine story after viewers had recognized the colonial pattern across multiple films, the genocide in Gaza compelled us to share it early.
Now, we invite you to The Eternal Song, the central film connecting these 12 narratives. This film explores Indigenous intergenerational trauma, healing, and resistance, reminding us that events in Palestine are not isolated incidents but part of a historical pattern of colonization that has unfolded across continents and generations for centuries.
For 3 years we traveled from the Arctic to the Amazon, we visited 13 Indigenous lands, exploring the devastating impact of colonization on indigenous people, lands, and cultures. We were entrusted with medicine stories of deep wounds, resilience, beauty, and ancestral wisdom while being continually reminded that our collective future depends on our kinship with Mother Earth, calling us back to our original sense of belonging.
The Eternal Song emerged from this pilgrimage—a witnessing of living histories, a tribute to the enduring spirit of Indigenous Peoples, an invocation of the sacred dance between all living things. It is our offering to a world thirsting for remembrance, a world that has forgotten its own heartbeat in the madness of modernity.
Today, we’re sharing the film trailer with the world—and we invite you to be part of this growing movement of intergenerational healing.
You’re invited to the world premiere of The Eternal Song—a new documentary film and 7-Day Online Gathering with Indigenous voices.
June 3–9, 2025 - FREE SIGN UP
When you sign up, you will get access to the live conversations and to their recordings for 48 hours. You will also be invited to live communal screenings of the film.
Join us for 7 days of listening, remembering, and reimagining with Indigenous Elders and healers.
For tens of thousands of years, Indigenous peoples have lived in deep kinship with the natural world while stewarding ancestral lands and wisdom. Our “modern” Western mindset, shaped by colonialism, capitalism, and individualism, has cast a collective fog of amnesia, leading us to believe we are separate from Earth, each other, and the ancestral realm.
We hope you’ll join us for the global premiere and 7-Day Gathering on June 3.
May these offerings, which we produced with great care and heart, be a guiding light for us all in these uncertain times.
We're honored to have you with us on this path.
Love, Zaya, Maurizio and the SAND team
