Earth Mama
15
A glowing breakout debut feature at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival of modern motherhood within an uncaring system.
Drama • Gritty • Critically Acclaimed
With two children in foster care, Gia, a pregnant single mother pitted against the system, fights to reclaim her family. In her close-knit Bay Area community, she works to make a life for herself and her kids.
In a season where we celebrate birth, this quietly devastating, observational film is documentary-like in it's storytelling . It's a must-see understated gem of a debut film from filmmaker Savanah Leaf, who has just won best debut director at the BIFAs.
