Are Your Eyes Nicely Open? is a documentary that examines the modern world, sustainability, climate change, and what we can learn from the ancient culture of the Bushmen that could help us live in harmony with our planet. The documentary also focuses on the dispossession of the Bushmen people of Southern Africa, and how Western demand for minerals has robbed them of their homeland. Are Your Eyes Nicely Open? draws on surrealist techniques and a poetic documentary style to drive home the message that we are wandering, blinded by our own rampant ego and consumerism, into oblivion.
