AamionGoodwin had an unorthodox upbringing.A product of his fathers rejection of the constraints of modern society, Aamion spent much of his childhood bouncing between Fiji, Australia, and Kauai. Now a father himself,Aamion,along with his wife Daize, are passing along that love for cultures around the world on to their young children, Given (their son), and True (their newborn daughter). <\/p>\n
Givenis a cinematically stunning film thattraces the travels of the Goodwins over the course of a year around the world, from Hawaii to Australia, Nepal to Peru. And its all told from the perspective of the Goodwins son, hence the name. <\/p>\n
More than anything, says the films director Jess Bianchi, Given is meant to show people not that the Goodwins way of life is the right way, or that theyre the poster children for an alternative lifestyle, but simply theres a way to get by that exists outside the norm. I do hope the film will inspire people to break from whatever, like, block they have in their life, Bianchi told The Inertia in an interview. Whether its a family that wants to travel the world, or maybe its just a block in their smaller circle. But just to get out of their ordinary life thats obviously not working for them, and just see that theres a whole different life they could be living. <\/p>\n
