HUMUS imagines a primeval forest, away from all civilization, wherein a child, an adult and an old man set out in search of themselves. On their quest they are accompanied by different voices, echoing through the trees. Based on the intimate narratives of childless men and women, HUMUS speaks to us of human condition, and of our view of the world as our only solace to our inescapable solitude. Allowing perception to follow its own course, HUMUS is a documentary essay on the theme of childlessness.

In 1958, children ages 6 to 17 years old walked into a restaurant, sat down and asked for cokes. They were refused service for one reason and one reason only, the color of their skin. Still, for nearly six years, these children, month after month, year after year politely continued their efforts. Armed only with their understanding of the U.S. Constitution, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s teachings on peaceful action and their determination, they turned Jim Crow laws around, restaurant by restaurant. Fifty years later, the children of the civil rights movement weave together their modern day lives with the past in a beautifully uplifting documentary film The Faces of Change.
