The Collective Evolution is a documentary aimed at showing the current state of the world, why it needs to be changed, and how each and every one of us can play a role in changing it. The documentary addresses this need for change through five individual yet interrelated structures society has come to rely upon -finance, education, religion, entertainment/ media, and health/ food. Each of these structures is fully broken down to show viewers how they have come into place, and why their continued existence can no longer be supported. The documentary concludes by drawing attention to consciousness. Addressing who we truly are, what we have come on this planet to do, and most importantly how we can go about doing it.

In Brazil, thousand people survive a suicide attempt per year, many of them being young individuals. This film documents the creative process of a group of young actors while they put together a theatrical play whose plot revolves around the reunion of a young woman, who attempted suicide, with friends from her theater group. The idea is giving a voice to these young individuals, those who have attempted suicide, as well as the friends and family of those who have survived or not, allowing them to speak about the subject; to be heard, embraced, and encouraged to redefine their existences, proposing "ways out" to young people dealing with suicidal ideation. The film suggests a rescue of self-esteem and hope, attempting to provide new choices and possible paths.
