IN SEARCH OF THE WISE WOMAN

In this feature documentary, an ancient Russian tradition, a mother who prayed, and a desire to serve people in her remaining years leads this documentary's narrators to wonder: where is the wise woman in ordinary life and how do I become her? A handful of friends uncover a troubling invisibility of the elder woman in our times and the loss of access to her unique wisdom. How can her vital presence be meaningfully restored in public and private communal life? And how can we tell her story?
