Scotland’s Findhorn Ecovillage have been pioneers in global climate awareness for decades. Amidst 60th anniversary celebrations in 2023, they faced their own dark night of the soul as another crisis threatens their very existence.
This is a feature documentary about community and radical hope, 'Firebird is set in one of the oldest and most sustainable ecovillages in the world. They've recently been rocked to their core by polarizing events: COVID, Brexit, mass layoffs, and an arson attack on its community centre and sanctuary. Through the lens of a struggling ecovillage, ‘Firebird’ is a modern-day commentary on community and relationships that asks how we remain cohesive and hopeful in our lives against a backdrop of unprecedented challenges.
