S5 EP6. EARTH MAMA | WRITER/DIRECTOR SAVANAH LEAF - a podcast by Black Ink Cinema

‘I want to protect them, like they need to be protected, but, nobody was here to protect me’

I had the privilege to sit down with Writer/Director Savanah Leah to discuss her debut feature film, Earth Mama. Ms Leaf, an Olympian, delivers a beautiful, elegant love letter to mothers, in this heartwarming, vulnerable film displaying her signature style.

Earth Mama is an intimate coming of age story of Gia, a pregnant single mother with two children in the foster care system. As she works to make a life for herself and her kids, she fights the system in hopes of reclaiming her family. An in-depth look at  young motherhood, the system and substance abuse.
