Be More Deer!

If you want a better world, remember, Be More Deer!

Long description

If we approach our crisis only with the problem solving mindset that has brought us here, we will just recreate our predicament in a different form. Research shows we are in crisis because we no longer use the whole of our minds. We want to make a film for a global audience to bring awareness to this. The film tells the story of our two disconnected hemispheres through two animals: a Crow (left hemisphere); a Deer (right hemisphere). Crows see a world of things to manipulate with tools; they categorise and generalise, they seek  power and control.  Deer see a world of uniqueness, potential and wider context; they value relationships and put themselves in service to the flourishing of the whole forest, whereas the Crows seek to dominate it. Science and indigenous stories say we must reinstate the primacy of the right hemisphere to successfully master the challenges we face.
