LFF 2023: Earth Mama

Gia is a young mother fighting for her children. Her son and daughter are in foster care, and now her unborn child could also be taken away. Struggling to work enough hours with court-mandated classes, she’s barely making ends meet. Director Savanah Leaf’s permeating vision brings fullness and complexity to Gia, the warm texture of the film envelops us in her reality, reclaiming her humanity and honouring the different forms love can take.
