A Partial History of the Natural World, 1965

Directed by Sasha Waters Freyer

A meditative exploration of the violent struggle for independence in southeast Asia and butterfly metamorphosis. Framed by excerpts from Sylvia Plath’s poem “Tulips,” A Partial History of the Natural World, 1965 reminds us that comfort is a privilege and denial of the suffering of others is not an option. Scored by a 1965 performance of Bartok’s “Solo for Violin 3.”
