She is Mother Nature; she is the mother of humanity. She is the one who must play the villain so her children can grow, the one who sacrifices and is met with destruction. This is an examination of the mother figure, a being who gives life and is repaid with betrayal. It asks the ultimate question: will we choose to kill our creator, or will we finally learn to work with her to build a better world?

Mother is one of six short films in A Moment in Time, an anthology exploring critical societal issues facing young Africans today.
