Sivako!

I went to Disney World and rode the Avatar ride ‘Flight of Passage’…. and it made me cry. Here in this video essay, I spend too long analysing the ride to try and figure out why.

Special thanks to Molly Parker for her invaluable script notes and edits, and Harry Robertson both for feedback on this video and agreeing to go see both “Avatar” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” in the cinema with me.

Also thanks to you for watching! The support over the last few weeks has been overwhelming but so lovely and I’m excited to see where things go.
