SXSW 2009 Film Trailer: Motherland – Six diverse and remarkable women, each grieving the loss of a child, travel to rural South Africa to work as volunteers in an effort to find some positive meaning in the wake of their tragedies. The group, strangers to each other before the trip began but bound by the painful experience they share, contribute to and learn from a culture that deals with mourning in a way very different from what theyre accustomed to in America. For 17 days on the other side of the world, these women cry and laugh, grieve and celebrate, and talk more openly than ever before about the kids they adored.

Barry Long | Seeing Through Death (Facing the Fact Without Fear) – BL audio collection: www.mediafire.com “The living don’t perceive the purpose of death. But the dying eventually do – only then it is too late for them to return and tell us what it is. I tell you the purpose of death and convey the art of dying.” Few dare speak of death, let alone make conscious preparation for it. Barry Long puts the taboo aside in an uplifting account of what happens when we die. He has counsel for the bereaved, compassionate words for those actually dying, and advice about explaining death to children. This CD prepares all of us for death – by telling us the truth of it. The fear of death is a barrier that must be breached to realise the truth of life. ‘In the game of living, the rule is: everyone dies. You win by finding death before it finds you. The prize is life.
