You can't kill the spirit of an artist....

On this episode we dive into the ideal of artistry and how it never really dies even the face of the most horrible circumstances. It's time for 'Birita'.

In this moving and deeply personal feature documentary, a family of theater-makers on the tiny archipelago of The Faroe Islands attempts to stage Shakespeare’s King Lear, casting the mother - celebrated theater actress Birita Mohr - who is living with Alzheimer’s in the lead role.
 
Birita’s son Búi Dam, a theater director, leads the project—a controversial endeavor driven by his belief that, even though his mother can no longer speak, she longs to return to the stage. Directing the play, Búi must grapple with justifying the project’s premise, while his father, a retired theater director, tries to balance caregiving with his own well-being.
 
As this remarkable drama unfolds, Birita’s joyful presence brings a surprising lightness to the process, leaving a profound impact on everyone involved.
 
This is a gorgeous and emotionally moving documentary and we had the unique pleasure of sitting down with Director/Producer/Subject of the film Bui to talk about bringing this very personal project to the forefront and so very much more with this film on the brink of its world premiere....
