"WHEN DISASTER STRIKES"

a series of 6 x 1 minute videos , mix of live action with interviews and animated graphics

A group of determined individuals heals a community after a natural catastrophe. The Montecito bucket brigade is made up of 2000 volunteers who helped clean up after a major earthslide in Montecito earlier this year. Devastating mudslides happened after heavy rainfalls in an area where a large scale wildfire burnt all plants and vegetation. 23 people were killed and over 100 houses destroyed.

 

The bucket brigade has since then successfully cleaned up homes, gardens, streets, etc and raised substantial funds for people who lost family members and hoems. Now they inspire other communities, who are in need of structure and guidance to work as a community.

"...SAVED MY LIFE"

" Dance Saved my life"

 

A Zumba fitness teacher/guru, who had an immobilizing disease, healed herself with dance.

Years ago, she could not even get dressed by herself or even brush her teeth without help and today she teaches daily classes with over 100 participants, - the biggest Zumba classe in the USA!

She healed her disease by dancing. This is such an empowering story...it changed my own perspective about pain and disease.

 

Each show is about a different individual telling and showing us what saved their life. 

 

 

There are many examples of dance, music, animals and other “healing powers”.
