 the gifts and burdens of their Inkwo (medicine) to defend against an arm
 y of hungry\, ferocious monsters. Dove’s courage\, resilience and allian
 ce with the Earth culminates in a battle against these flesh-consuming cre
 atures\, who become stronger with each body and soul they devour. Inkwo f
 or When the Starving Return is a call to action to fight and protect agai
 nst the forces of greed around us.\n\nThe film features the extraordinary
