Three documentaries that came to mind that inspired me were; Black Fish, Edgar Cayce’s Biography, and What The Health. These documentaries were really interesting to me and helped me understand more about some things that I am really passionate about.
Black fish had some very heart wrenching experiences that some killer whales have had to deal with; from getting taken from their pod (or family) at very young ages, to being held in captivity for our entertainment and being starved when they didn’t follow along with the tricks they were supposed to do. Sealand (which was once in Canada, but shut down), and SeaWorld, were the two places most mentioned, in this documentary. It has always been hard for me to see animals in environments that are not natural to them. It actually makes me feel as though we relate in some ways, as we are all from nature, but we aren’t being held against our will as so many animals are.
Edgar Cayce was a photographer, as well as a psychic. He could scan a body, after going into a meditative state and be able to understand what was going on to cause the person sickness or distress, and then he could give them insight in what they needed to do to heal. He became a photographer after realizing he had a knack for it, and was having trouble making enough money to get by. As a photographer and a psychic, myself, I have found that I relate to him on many levels, as well as being able to scan people through a reading and understand what they need to do to heal. Although, just as he came to some trouble with practicing without a medical license, I have not attempted to move forward with this path, as I do not believe one must need to acquire a license for something that has to do with an energetic connection that we are born with. Though, photography is something that I have been interested in from a very young age, whereas he started when he was an adult. This documentary inspired me to trust my gifts and purpose as our paths show themselves to us, as we learn to trust and believe, as he did. But just like him, I also give more than I should and feel drained by my need to give and serve others. This ended up killing him in the end, which I think I must learn from and find the boundaries that I need to set for myself and my own gifts.
Watching What The Health, was something that appealed to me, in the way that I believe our food and medicine is causing us more harm than good. I believe we should go back to nature for our food and for our healing needs. This documentary opened my eyes about a lot that I thought might be true, and was shown that my instincts were correct. The way we have been lead to believe that we need certain things that are actually causing the eruption of sickness and depression throughout this country is really heart-breaking.
All three of these documentaries inspire me to work on creating documentaries, myself. When I was going through a miscarriage’s during the quarantine. I had my first moment of connection with this thought, as I wanted to bring awareness to other mothers who have lost pregnancies or had to end pregnancies. I wanted to help women get their stories out there and be hear, and was shocked at how many women I knew had also lost a pregnancy. There were women who trusted me enough to share their stories, that have not felt comfortable sharing them before. There is so much meaning in documentaries, and I value the way they help people connect with a deeper understanding of how different aspects of life bring us together, or help us understand about different aspects of life.
