SURVIVAL PRAYER
ABOUT
SURVIVAL PRAYER explores the power of food, nature and culture. On a remote archipelago in the Pacific Northwest, an uncommon abundance of wildlife has sustained the Haida people for countless generations. Here, a last speaker frames a moving portrait of these sacred food systems at risk. Rich with spectacular scenery of the North Pacific coastline and detailed views of wild food gathering and preservation, SURVIVAL PRAYER is a story of possibility amid deep loss.
Benjamin Greené is an award winning documentary filmmaker living in the Pacific Northwest. Survival Prayer is his solo directorial debut and won Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You at MoMA in NYC. Benjamin is a graduate of Werner Herzog's Rogue Film School, winner of the Special Jury Prize for Direction at the Sarasota Film Festival, and alum of the IFP Documentary Filmmaker Labs.
