Synopsis
Taking the pandemic as a starting point, Manitushiss (Virus) weaves a scathing critique of our relationship with Mother Earth, invoking the right to defend ourselves against a humanity that has become destructive and toxic. The compelling rhythmic editing amplifies the gravity of a narrative that speaks to our judgment and solidarity, something we can no longer ignore. (RIDM)
