Buried Above Ground

Buried Above Ground embeds deeply and equally inside the lives of its three subjects over an unprecedented six-year journey. Using subjective framing, observational footage, and intimate interviews, the film unfolds with Luis, Erundina, and Ashley essentially narrating heir own stories. Scenes provide intimate and chilling access to powerful moments that illustrate how the road to recovery is long and fraught with obstacles. Their therapy sessions, home life, and efforts to embrace community come together to provide an unmatched lens on a complex and often chronic disorder.
