Thank you. Justine & Michael 💚

There comes a moment in every life when the weight we carry feels too great to bear alone. In these moments, a choice appears: to keep struggling in silence or to open ourselves to the strength and kindness of others.

This story is about that choice — a journey of discovering the beauty in being vulnerable, and in finding that this simple act can transform not just ourselves but those who stand ready to help.

It’s not easy to let go of the walls we build to protect our independence, but when we do, something remarkable happens. Bonds, delicate yet enduring, can be forged; a quiet, gentle exchange of giving and receiving becomes a shared act of humanity, binding us ever closer to one another and reminding us that we are not alone.

Featuring Jenny Jackson.
Filmed in Hermanus, South Africa.

This is the fifth film that we have made together with Jenny. If you've missed the others, you can see them here:

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards - each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle child-like curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy. If you’d like to consider purchasing your copy, shop here -

You can also sign up to take part in the Reflections of Life Intentional Journey, receiving a digital copy of each card direct to your email, over a consecutive 52 day period -
