Mom – A Touching Short Film
|
| This brief animated film tenderly depicts the life of a mother and her daughter, slowly revealed as if turning pages in a storybook. The scenes are beautifully drawn yet understated and allow the poignancy of the moments to speak for themselves. There is little action. There are few words. However this is a story that never ends and one that is universal. The love of a mother for her child, the letting go, the cycle of life. Like trees that bear fruit, mothers create treasures and offer gifts without fanfare or asking for anything in return. This film is a reminder of those gifts and of moms themselves. |

Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Ann Medlock: Sticking Her Neck Out for Our Common Humanity
“There is a fundamentalist mindset that is manifesting all over the world, and the fundamental mind says, “There are no questions. There are only answers, and they are in the book” (whatever book they believe in and are referring to). So, anybody who has questions is a mystery to them… I’ve never been one of those people…I got called to my son’s junior high school, and his teacher said, “You have to tell him not to wear that button.” And I said, “Which button?” He had a jacket that was covered with buttons – it was a thing for kids his age. The teacher said, “The one that says ‘question authority.'” And I said, “I gave it to him.” That was the end of that conversation.” Ann Medlock, founder of the Giraffe Heroes Project shares more from her spirited journey in this in-depth interview. { read more }
