A Common Sequence

About This Movie

A Common Sequence dives into some heavy themes, you know? It weaves together tradition and colonialism with a focus on labor practices that are surprisingly interconnected. You’ve got this endangered salamander, apples that are churned out by the thousands, and then, there’s genomics and machine learning creeping in. The pacing is thoughtful, giving you time to digest all this complexity. Gibisser’s approach feels almost meditative, where the visuals and the tone really lend themselves to contemplating what we’re doing to the planet and our own practices. It’s quite striking to see how everything links back to faith and property. Not your usual doc, definitely leaves an impression.
