Dear Lorde
Cooper Battersby, Emily Vey Duke
The bone collector Maxine Rose, a 14-year-old teenage girl, yearns for approval from her idols, including primatologist Jane Goodall, comedian Louis C.K. and Bishop Desmond Tutu. She sends New Zealand pop singer Lorde a picture that she has made out of bones. But the most important claim is contained in the letter which she writes to them all: »I deserve to be heard.« A multi-layered, fresh and honest film about the need to be visible.
