An omnibus composed of moments from the filmworks of Express Newark’s Community Media Center Members. This offering takes its title from bell hooks’ essay of the same name that opens with the line “When we love the earth, we are able to love ourselves more fully.” The collection holds Newark’s parks as sacred spaces of liberation, reclamation, protection, reflection, and healing.
