Dir. Lisa Palmer, 2019, 30 min.

For more than a century, the island of Timor has been divided by a colonial border, displacing and separating the indigenous people of Lookeu while also bisecting their land, water, and history. Timor's migratory wild honeybees defy this man-made division and their migrations are essential to the agricultural and spiritual well-being of the people who depend upon them. Wild Honey: Caring for Bees in a Divided Land spotlights a border community’s efforts to maintain the bees' movement across the region and preserve shared indigenous identity. 

Film to be followed by discussion with filmmaker Lisa Palmer.
