Sameseas” is a film about a group of young women from the @mariposadrfoundation in Dominican Republic who utilize the ocean as a tool for self-growth and empowerment.
Directed and Edited by Seea Ambassador Leah Dawson of @changingtidesfoundation she remarks “Sameseas is a play on words, for people sharing feeling the same through their love for the ocean. Being a part of this creative process, and feeling the joy that emanates from these young women with every second I spent editing, has furthered my own personal love for the ocean and the power it can have on our lives. We learned from the Mariposa Foundation that creating a safe-space for women and girls, the catalyst of freedom from learning to swim, educating about the environment starting at an early age, engaging participation in reusable practices, looking to the sea as a place of freedom and empowerment, that these are all palpable processes to create real change on our planet. By empowering young women now, we create a future of change-making leaders. Seea donated suits to the Mariposa Surf Program, and watching these young women light up when they put on the suits put a grin on my face, because just like sharing our love for the earth, we share a love for swimsuits that make us feel beautiful and powerful.”
