Films

Guardians of Life

The three-minute-long film Guardians of Life is set in a well-equipped modern operating theater where a surgeon and other medical staff are struggling to revive a dying patient. The patient's heart stops beating and with the team in agreement, they abandon their attempts, take off their face masks, and the surgeon declares the time of death. One of the nurses (Q'orianka Kilcher), however, who has traditional indigenous makeup under her face mask, begins old-fashioned, low-tech, manual CPR and succeeds in resuscitating the patient. Finally the patient, hidden from the camera until now, is revealed to be the planet Earth – its continents ablaze with fire and clearly in a critical state.^[7]
