A portrait of artist and performer Courtney Desiree Morris

From the creators of the first queer environmental documentary feature films comes a hot new offering. The third chapter is their most epic and daring yet — fusing art, activism, and intimate storytelling in a touching journey through crisis, change, and renewal. When a firestorm rips through their redwood forest home, two artist-activists — Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle —emerge with a powerful message of love, resilience, and ecological hope, guided by a relationship with their magical peacock.

Explores the relationship between the black female body, nature, and the divine. Guided by the idea that the sacred can be found everywhere, even in the most mundane spaces and practices of daily life, the artist delves into the experiences of female ancestors and elders whose stories are often missing from family histories and official historical narratives.
