FROM THE GODDESS
DOCUSERIES
OCT 2023
Over the past three years, I've created a significant body of work – a six-part documentary film series titled FROM THE GODDESS – exploring the concept of the Great Goddess. This project took me to 10 different countries where I engaged with 37 experts, including scholars, archaeologists, authors, artists, and priestesses. Through their insights, I aimed to uncover how matriarchal societies, centered around Goddess worship, thrived in peaceful coexistence for millennia until the emergence of Patriarchy 6,000 years ago, leading to dominance, conflict, and harm to our planet. My journey sought to discover the potential for peace, which, as it turns out, is an inherent aspect of our nature.
