The Unfixing

Synopsis

This is the personal story of director Nicole Betancourt, who turns the camera on herself to capture her struggle with a debilitating illness and its ripple effects on her family—all while engaging with broader ecological questions.
More than a visual diary, the film is a poetic exploration of a mother’s journey from illness to healing, set against the backdrop of an intensifying global climate crisis. As Betancourt’s body begins to break down, so too does the planet—both demanding radical transformation and renewal.
