Description
The extinction of honey bees on a remote volcanic island of Hawaii, indigenous cosmology, and a secret NASA project intersect in this gorgeous, thought-provoking documentary. With an artist’s eye for details and plenty of time for amazement, SWARM SEASON draws fascinating parallels between the micro- and macrocosm, and challenges our understanding of nature, the world and ourselves.
