The Unfixing film still with festival laurels

Film still from The Unfixing by Nicole Betancourt

World Premiere Ji.hlava IDFF ’24

Audience Award Best Feature Vermont FFF

Feature-length creative documentary by Emmy Award winner Nicole Betancourt

A lyrical fusion of life and landscape, THE UNFIXING reveals one mother’s path from illness to healing and from climate despair to terrestrial belonging.

As the climate crisis escalates, a debilitating illness threatens the filmmaker’s life, then her daughter’s life, taking the family to breaking point.

Adrift yet lucid, Nicole’s waking visions chart a course not only to personal healing, but also a new narrative from which to see the world.
