A portrait of a growing movement amongst Indigenous Americans to reclaim their spiritual and cultural identities through obtaining sovereignty over their ancestral food systems, while battling against the historical trauma brought on by centuries of genocide.
The film takes us to the highlands of Japan, the Kalahari Desert in Africa, the Navajo Nation in Arizona, the forests of Finland and the streets of NYC (the famed Self -Transcendence 3100 Mile Run) and captures the esoteric, spiritual side of running.
Born to Fly pushes the boundaries between action and art, daring us to join choreographer Elizabeth Streb and her dancers in pursuit of human flight.
