BEATS AS ONE
A HOMECOMING FOR HUMANITY
A documentary feature about the cure to the loneliness and isolation epidemic.
In our digital age we have lost touch with our shared humanity.
Loneliness and isolation is THE epidemic that we are now facing.
Half of adults in the U.S. are lonely. A quarter of British people are lonely. The consequences of this human disconnection are shocking: 29% increased risk of heart disease, 32% increased risk of stroke, 50% increased risk of dementia, twice as likely to suffer depression, and more than 60% increased risk of premature death.
The US Surgeon General is clear: ‘We must prioritize building social connection the same way we have prioritized other critical public health issues such as tobacco, obesity, and substance use disorders.’
In today’s world community and human connection is the timeless wisdom that we all seek.
Africa has the answers. Mother Africa, the cradle of humanity. It’s time to return to the origin story of our collective.
This life-enhancing film is a celebration of the human connection that is always there if we look for it.
Support BEATS AS ONE, this extraordinary film that will reveal how music and indigenous wisdom can heal the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation.
